Very well said. I think the big problem here is that the media is as ever presenting the worst case scenario as fact when in reality no-one knows what's going to happen. Yes, the virus could kill thousands of people and last for months but for all we know it could be over in a couple of weeks and, by May we'll all be sitting around feeling a bit lost because all the sporting events, festivals and concerts we were planning on going to got cancelled prematurely!
Add to that the vast number of people sat a home right now wasting their time getting increasingly and irrationally panicky becuase of all the scaremongering on social media and it's not surprising that some posters, even on a relatively sensible forum like this one, are wildly exaggerating the situation.
To anyone worried about the virus, my advice would be, switch off your computer, limit watching the news to 10 minutes a day and, if possible, get out into the outdoors, enjoy a nice walk and chill out!
