I do agree that the media is trying to scare people. I do agree that this is mainly affecting individuals with respiratory or other underlying issues (not necessarily severe), but even if you have it and are asymptomatic, you can easily transmit this to others and that is a major cause for concern.Keep drinking the Kool Aid. No reason to live in fear. Based on the total number of Covoid cases versus the total number of flu cases in the world the flu is still a greater concern. Some people are scared of their own shadows and way too overdramatic.
Plus, did it ever dawn on you that the mortality rates are escalated because only people with serious symptoms are being tested? Many people that have the virus never have any symptoms or just very mild symptoms. They are never tested (partially because of the lack of test kits) and likely never even knew they had it. Therefore none of the stats that the media try to pass off as facts can be scientifically validated. Unfortunately the media's job is to scare us and they never present all of the facts. Most news is fake and should not be trusted.
So "escalated" mortality rates aside, the mode of transmission, the lack of understanding and the definitive lack of a standard of care treatment plan makes this something to not take lightly.
I'm not saying to live in fear, but there surely isn't anything wrong with listening to the CDC or some of the healthcare experts that truly have a strong understanding of whats going on.
