If I thought this bug was the real deal, then I'd be open to his suggestion, but I think this is all a fraud.

It's a real bug but it was really and let me repeat that really misunderstood.

Oh I know its real, but I guess you can call me a FluBro. Imho in the years to come, this will be viewed as an equal to a bad flu year, not a black plague.

Your anger is completely understandable, I'm high risk and need to isolate. That's my problem not yours, I don't want to kill everyone's grandparents but we can't destroy the economy either.

Every situation is a question of balance. There's some hard choices that are going to be made and sadly people will die. But to paraphrase GETOUS the cure can't be worse than the Wuhan Whoopsie.

I'm 52, so technically slightly in the target group, and I could always be healthier 😁

Having said that, I should clarify that I'm not angry, as much as highly skeptical of its virulence over a bad flu. The actual numbers beyond models doesnt support it. This will end up being a model driven worldwide panic, with China, Italy and Iran's horrible management starting the wildfire of fear.

I've been watching the story since mid-December with all the crazy videos out of wuhan, so I get the fear. Anyway, I don't begrudge anyone being careful. I'm cooperating, but skeptical.
