So many people are claiming it is overhyped (even using it as a time to attack “mainstream media”) and that the flu is worse. It’s almost like they are trying to will it out of existence.
Nobody is claiming it is worse CURRENTLY. The WHO and CDC are giving guidance to contain it before it transforms into the flu and implementing quarantine measures on known cases. It is highly contagious, has a long incubation period, and is much more lethal than the flu. Nobody is saying to panic, but to practice prudence. I realize some people are panicked which isn’t helpful, but neither is burying your head in the sand and trying to compare the current state of the infantile Covid-19 to the well established flu in terms of volume infected - Complete willful ignorance.
So my real question is - what drives people to rabidly deny the POTENTIAL of this virus, and other similar problems? How are their brains wired to the point they reverse panic and basically try to will it out of existence instead of heeding the simple guidance of the CDC and WHO? It’s like they are ostriches forcing their head into the sand and getting mad at people for trying to understand the new virus.
