It’s stuff like this that’s scaring the public! I don’t even know what to believe anymore and while I want the truth, it might be too much for people to swallow. 
 

I prefer the positive articles:

This article made me feel better

Um no. Everyone, make sure you pay attention to who you get your news from.

I think this is a fake news, don't forget that only 20% of the people have severe symptoms which requires an hospitalization.

Those twenty per cent are severe and critical. They end up on ventilators, for the most part. 

Those who have “moderate to severe” cases often end up with double pneumonia and symptoms that last for weeks.

This is much more severe and threatening than the common flu.

I agree, far too much scare mongering in the media. People do need to be cautious and prepared  (but not panic) because it's a new strain of flu which is proven slightly more dangerous which is why experts are worried because they're still learning about it. The worst thing to do for ones mental health is to read social media as they report every new case / death.  Notice how the media doesn't really like to report how many people have recovered?

To put things into perspective there's a population of 7.5 billion and currently around 44000 have it which is 0.00058666666666667% of the population.

It is more dangerous than normal flu however the way the media report it is intentionally making people scared and panicked.  Some people will get the virus and not realise it and brush it off as a bad cold (which a reason why it's spreading like it has), while others will get more severe symptoms.  The fact is most people will not need to be hospitalized for it, just self isolate like you would if you had the flu.

Don’t be gullible people, the headline is complete clickbait and the article is exaggerated and one more example of fear mongering. I’m not saying the virus isn’t something to look out for, but it’s nowhere near as bad as the media is portraying it. Y’all over there thinking this is some The Stand type of situation :laughga:

In my country 3 people for every 1 million has this virus.  One guy who was infected recovered after 5 days and tested negative after two tests to double check, how is that like AIDS? If only...

Actually the death rate seems to be less than that of the flu :billie:
