Nothing really. I'm not apathetic to it, but I also think ppl are scared of the word pandemic.
If nurses and doctors at local hospitals arent worried, other than the influx of ppl coming in thinking they have it bc they sneezed, I'm not sure why everyone else is losing their mind. They are at risk, I know some that think theyve already had it. It's likely many people have had it already and didnt think much of it. 80% are mild symptoms...fever, cough, maybe fatigue. It obviously could vary. They're reporting almost 50% that were on that cruise were asymptomatic. Others said they had a fever of 100 for a day, felt different, then that was it.
The ones that have died of course make the news. At some point someone you know will have it, probably an upper respiratory infection. Are you unhealthy, do you have asthma, are you old, what's up with your heart. Do you smoke...italy..ppl f'n smoke like trains. Otherwise, you could be an anomaly...but chances are, you're going to be alright. I've been going to a full gym everyday that's got to be crawling with bacteria, etc. I'm not stopping going.
I think the bigger question is if you're one of those ppl that bought 400 rolls of toilet paper do I want to be around you. And if you just now decided to wash your hands...you're nasty.
It will probably drag out a few months, but the main reason for cancelling crowds, is to stop a high spike at once that could overwhelm hospitals. The total number over time will be probably be equal but at a lower average.
I just looked...flights are damn cheap, some airlines 90% off. I just looked up flights from Lexington to Hawaii round trip and they're cheap as hell...so actually I might do that.
