Imagine a virus so deadly you needed multiple tests to confirm you had it because you're asymptomatic.

Yup. Gee, sounds like exposure to low doses of the seasonal flu. You may have zero symptoms. Also, similar near-100% survival rate.

Remind me again when we shut down the country for the flu?

Don't forget the ominous bass-heavy minor-key theme music and scary red-text logo, to use when coming in/out of commercial breaks.

(Scary music) (big red text) CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC DANGEROUS DEADLY EMERGENCY CRISIS UPDATE!!!

People are SO gullible, it's funny and sad at the same time.
