[QUOTE="RejZoR, post: 865595, member: 57233"] When you just look at basic numbers you see ##### doesn't make sense given how much panic everyone is making. Using news from 2020-03-12 (which I'd consider to be recent enough), there are some 1400 confirmed deaths in China due to Covid19. 1400 deaths in a country with population of almost 1.5 billion people (that's what, 1/5th of entire PLANET?). I bet more people die there in car accidents within just 1 month, than they have from Covid19 in the entire time of its existence. The outbreak began in city Wuhan with some 12 million people. That city alone has 6x the population of my entire country. Or 1/6 of ENTIRE Italy. Just the scale of people concentrated in relatively small spot and only 1400 deaths? Out of which I can guarantee you it's predominantly people with pre-existing conditions, same people that are just as severely affected by most common seasonal flu. But no one makes drama when 1500 people die in China from seasonal flu complications. It's just something that happens every year and no one gives a ##### about it, no one reports it, no one makes panic, no one stockpiles frigging toilet paper. The fact is, infection is petty much inevitable. Just like with seasonal flu. It's just that no one is actively monitoring and reporting on that one. But we are for Covid19. It's why it looks so out of proportion. Constant bombardment in news about it opposed to seasonal flu that has basically zero coverage. Of course Covid19 feels like a freaking doomsday. Regular seasonal flu would as well if everyone reported on it constantly and count numbers of infected and dead. But we just don't do that. But if you look at known annual numbers about common flu, there are huge numbers of people infected and also huge numbers of dead given it's just a seasonal flu everyone is taking pretty much as something normal that just happens. Again, avoiding close contact, regular washing of hands, coughing into shoulder or elbow instead of hand, not sharing food and utensils, self isolation is something that should be practiced at any point of being sick. It's a basic etiquette to stop spreading any kind of respiratory based diseases that are spread with coughing and contact. But that's as much as we can do. It's absurd to expect anything beyond that given we are species that can travel the whole planet in 1 day and travel across hubs like airports or shopping centers where hundred thousand people come in contact and move into other such hubs.
