Round numbers from CDC reports: 113,000 worldwide infections. 4,009 deaths. That's a whopping 3.5% fatality rate. Global population is 7.8B; meaning 0.00145% of the world has been infected and 0.0000514% have actually died from it...the sky is not falling... everyone needs to calm down, be normal and practice good hygiene. Chances of contracting anything are reduced. And if you don't think the panic hungry media isn't, I saw a 30 sec bit on how homeless people are twice as likely to contract coronavirus. Really? You don't say. A person who is malnutritioned, has poor hygiene, and has a lack of shelter from the elements is suceptible, gee thanks. Completely pointless, not news, but they can't have 30 seconds without the word Coronavirus spouting panic. I hope for everyone the world's doctors create a vaccine to prevent further deaths and this will simply become seasonal or go away all together. Not be the end of the world, pandemic, zombie apocolypse CNN wants it to be.
