Should we really be that worried about this coronavirus?

    They’re now saying that the virus cannot be contained and that it’s going to spread rapidly once it hits the states. I’m starting to feel a bit nervous. Trump is even gonna address the nation tonight I think.

    Everything you just said should answer your question: go get some masks and some food. If you can get em. Where I am all N95 masks are gone in every hardware store and walmart. P95 and p100 actually will work just fine, chances are people don't know that and that is why all the p95 and p100 masks are still there. Unfortunately, they are more expensive, but hey, get what you can.

    Milsurp masks are hard to find filters for. Make sure you can get filters before you get the mask.

    When there is more outbreaks in my area, I’ll be more concerned. It sucks we have to deal with stuff like this in 2020, you’d think we would have eradicated all diseases by now.

    I don't think we should worry but it's a good idea to take certain precautions like washing hands regularly and staying away from people who've recently been to affected areas.

    I dont think you should be nervous. There were far more worse disease in the past and there are way more other diseases that you should be more woried about. I am not a medical expert but for example, obesitas is a more dangerous world health problem.

    I was listening to a medical expert and he was saying the problem is we don't fully understand it and that why it's so dangerous. From what I can tell people are dying from it because it's a new diseases and the human body doesn't cope well with new diseases.

    it's a virus camed from chineses bats like SARS and MERS, and with some ''spillover'' effect it cames to the man with an unknown intermediate ospite. So the immune system is not completely prepered to fight it. But don't panic

    It can cause trouble becaming pandemic , but you shouldn't bother about yourselves health. Risk subjects are : immunodepress patient (aids , trasplants ecc) , people with low general health state , and expecially +65 years old people.
    At this moment the mortality is near 3% , almost all subject to risk. SARS and MERS had a mortality of 24% -40%.

    So i don't think you should be nervous , i'm italian, i'm not nervous . The concerns go to people at risk and the possibilities that some Nations with bad health system won't contain this new virus.

  13. On this note, I am reminded that many past so called epidemics went by with very little actual effects but a truckload of panic

    You should not worry. I am from the United Kingdom which is a very congested island and I have faith in my healthcare and people with the virus have been contained already and people traced who was in contact, I assume the USA also have excellent health care and the correct measures in place to stop the spread.
    I would be worried if I was from a country that was 2nd world.

    Every virus requires a different vaccine, so if it’s new, then unfortunately it takes time to formulate a vaccine to counter it.

    Yeah, I don’t think it’s that deadly. Similar to the flu I believe.

    That’s the scary part, but I think that if you a healthy adult, it shouldn’t be a life threatening situation, or at least I hope not.
     
  20. If we die, we won’t be able to relapse
