The death rate isn't whats frightening people...it's the potential this virus has until a legitimate cure can be discovered.
Don't follow blindly, but also don't be ignorant.

Some light reading for you all, but the gist is this:
If the following applies to you:
-60 or older
-High blood pressure / Hypertension
-Diabetes
-any type of cardiovascular disease
-any type of cancer or disease that weakens your immune system
-live with someone with one or more of the conditions above
Then you should probably be freaking out a bit, but afterwards, maybe stay the fuck home?
For everyone else though, Wash your hands, exercise, avoid touching your face, take a vitamin or two and you'll be just fine.
