I was someone who originally thought the virus was bad, before realizing what was really going on. Here's my take on it.
I followed the situation based on "leaks" from china, all the way in early/mid December. At that point the media was aggressively downplaying it, and thinking it was nothing to worry about. That is what made me worry, stock up on supplies, etc. At that time I DID think this was going to be huge. Once things started progressing, and the media started really blowing this out of proportion, while I could see the real data wasn't backing up the claims, that's when I started realizing that this situation was actually backwards, and the virus wasn't actually that bad at all. Especially once reports started coming out about Hydroxychloroquine, and how effective it can be. How can it really be so bad, if we call could easily be healed?
I'd consider myself a rational person, and I try and always verify everything I hear, especially if it comes from the media. Now the people that are STILL acting all crazy over this (my friends, family, and almost everyone else I know) they're the ones being irrational. I really wish I could convince them. But hey, I think things are going to be happening pretty soon, and they'll figure it out sooner or later.
