Why is there such widespread panic about COVID-19?
In:
Part that isn’t talked about all that often is that in the case of viruses, there’s a chance of mutation between each host, and so what is currently not a big deal/is asymptomatic to most people who carry the virus, if it keeps spreading and mutating this could very quickly not be the case anymore.
As the current-day news media is wont to do, it is being a bit alarmist, but overall it’s better to just hunker down for a little bit, let the virus get dealt with and let healthcare workers keep it as contained as possible, given that for the people at the highest risk, it is pretty significantly deadly. 3.5% fatality rate doesn’t sound like much, but that’s 1 out of every ~28 or so cases being fatal.
