PRE-GAME NRL Round 1 - Cowboys vs Broncos

[Sproj]

Obviously, no one is saying don't be concerned. You would have to be an idiot not to be concerned about the whole thing.

No one is saying necessarily carry on as normal either but there is a huge difference between being ignorant and being hysterical.

Can the virus spread? Yes. Is it highly contagious? Yes. Is it killing people? Yes. Is everyone catching it and / or dying? Absolutely not.

Is mass hysteria and panic buying going to help? Certainly not. Is being petrified and acting like a conspiracy theorist going to be of any advantage? No way.

The point? Take all the precautions necessary and yes, do social distancing for all it is worth but don't act like this is the end of the world as many are doing and new outlets are driving.

It's already happening. Look at Spain:

If you think you can carry on life as usual, you're in for a rude shock.

His point is this outbreak is only a few weeks old and it's charging at us at full throttle. We have barely any data yet. And certainly no evidence for optimism.

Who is saying we should carry on with life as usual?

There is a difference between following common sense and building a castle of toilet paper around you...
Italy is not an example to trot out unless you want to be an alarmist, and social media posts about it even less.
