You can bet there is a lot of fearporn, this goes without saying. You can also bet there are people scared to death. There is panic, there are people with the flu who think its coronavirus. None of this negates the fact that its spreading, and will spread here. We are simply at the mercy of how transmissible this is, how lethal it is, whether it kills itself out, whether it mutates (bad or good). Its too early to tell at this point. I suspect when it makes its way out of China in a major way, and given a couple of weeks to see the recovery rate, we will see what we are dealing with. In any event, we are shouting at the sky and pounding sand. We have little to no control over the situation.
