it’s an election year folks. Everyone please put this in perspective.
Did you? In Florida alone, 104 infected and 4 died. That’s nearly 4% mortality rate. Swine flu was less than 1% with the numbers above and nation/worldwide the numbers are not much different.
Coronavirus doesn’t show symptoms for nearly a week so you could be spreading it and not know it. Hopefully, everyone you come in contact with is young and healthy. And unfortunately tests aren’t easily available because someone a few months refused to get worldwide accepted cheap testing kits from the W.H.O. to help contain this before Disney World had to close and March madness suspended. Then people blame social media for the panic at the same time spreading misinformation from it like- the virus doesn't like sunlight- like it’s a Gremlin and a president that says if you’re sick just go to work. So people are panicking and the stock market is tumbling for legitimate reasons.
