I completely disagree.
This is operating EXACTLY like something I had experience with...and the problem here is that if you don’t take it seriously it can kill you pretty damn quick. Who survives and why and who doesn’t is an unknown factor.
You dont know to take it seriously because who does when they have the first symptoms.
And medical professionals wont take it seriously unless you can tell them you have been to China.
You should take all the precautions you should take with the flu knowing it could cause a cytokine storm and kill you...whether it be from the bat/sars virus that the US developed at Chapel Hill, or the virus someone got from eating bat soup in a market... or just plain ole US flu.
These sorts of diseases have, over the last few decades, become the “boy who cried wolf” for me.
Maybe this time it really is the wolf. But I’m taking the “I’ve stopped believing it” position, other than refusing to go to China right now. Time may prove me wrong.
And at the end of the day, I just consider it to be basically an equivalent to the flu.
I’m 66 and have never had a flu shot. I also have no health insurance. The Lord provides.
