Anyone think this Coronavirus hysteria is ridiculous?

I'm still inclined to believe that Coronavirus is being overhyped to sell news. However, they do seem to be taking it very seriously in China, building hospitals overnight etc. Plus, the idea that it may be an engineered biowarfare agent is scary. Overall, though I think it will fizzle out in the next month or two like ebola, SARS, avian flu, West Nile, etc. etc.

Right now, yes I do. According to the John Hopkins website, the flu caused between 291,000 - 646,000 deaths world wide last year alone, yet other than reminding people to get a flu shot, the media paid little attention to it. There have been less than 3,000 deaths so far and primarily in China. We have had 1 death in the US and the sky is falling.

Unless people continue with their lives and use common sense precautions the economic repercussions of this virus could be far worse than the actual disease if mass hysteria takes grip.

Definitely. But it's typical of the world today. The Chicken Littles with the overblown megaphones (read: Fake News Morons) running around screaming about the end of the world makes me want to puke in Anderson Cooper's shoes.

It's all just more silliness

In my 46 years the 'NEWS' has tried to convince me that we were all going to sizzle in a nuclear war, get abducted by Satanists, contract AIDS, get carjacked by hoodlums, be knocked off from cholesterol, serial killers were around every turn in the road...

I stopped paying attention to the 'NEWS' years ago
It's all a bunch of horseshit
Sprinkle the 'NEWS' on your garden beds, it's nearly spring time👍

More people dies yearly from riding a bike then what this virus has claimed so far.

I survived the gypsy moths, and I'm still waiting for the fire ants to get here.

Perhaps it is.

We all died from Ebola 6 years ago. Don't you remember?
