We should certainly be wearing a mask, washing hands, etc, etc but lets stop the outright lunacy that this thing is going to kill everyone. I, and millions of other are going to lose thier jobs, houses, wives, mental health you name it due to this thing being overhyped by exponential factors.
I completely agree. Wash your hands, wear a mask, and everyone get on with their lives. No reason for you to hibernate in a cave for something less dangerous than driving your car.
