I dunno, guys.
I know "they" tell me this "new virus" is really serious. I know that there have been many times through history when a virus really was serious. And I also know that I have a tendency towards being a "damn the torpedoes" kind of guy. So I take my own thoughts with a grain of salt.
But isn't every season's flu a "new virus"?
I can't help sensing this is a huge over-reaction. If so many people aren't being tested - either because they are young and not symptomatic or because clinics didn't have testing supplies and turned away someone that was ill but not critically ill - if so many that are infected aren't being tested, then those numbers aren't being reported.
If many non-symptomatic infected aren't being reported, then the only ones that are being reported are those that are very ill. Naturally, those are the ones that are most likely to die. So the mortality rate must be over-represented. It really can't be any other way.
