Is this pandemic serious? Absolutely!
Will some people die? Unfortunately yes!
However watching cable news one would think the world is ending. However China with a population of 1.3 billion recorded 3000 dead and new infections are now 19 a day. That s in a population of 1.3 billion.
I know some Americans just love to disparage China and doubt their numbers and its their prerogative. However China has closed all twelve emergency hospitals they built. That s conclusive evidence they ve tamed this devil virus. South Korea has this thing under control from just three weeks ago.
My takeaway from this is, the Sky is not falling, the world is not ending, and the 24/7 news cycle helps nobody but the cable channels. China slew this dragon in three months, the United States ultimately will overcome this in a few months.
Nine months from now there will be a population boom boom from people being stuck indoors. Life surely will return to normal and the doomsday preachers will crawl into their holes.
