Just today reading that 85% of those with the virus get little or no symptoms and only .05-1% actually dies yet a majority of the new media is having an ######.

For most people yes. But if you’re in a nursing home and

You were one of the four out of 5 that got it and died, then odds aren’t so good for you. It should be covered. But I would say I think the media is negligent in the way they are covering.
By the way who is your favorite, Katy Perry or Post Malone?

I'd say that 32 yo healthy man in New Jersey doesn't think it's more hype. Fact is, there's no vaccine for it and it seems to be more contagious than the flu. It's serious and imo, we should be proactive and shelter in place.

Interesting that you didn't provide a link to such 'information'.
According to the CDC the morality rate is 3.4% and it spreads faster than the flu.
Every year thousands die of the flu. The coronavirus is additional deaths. It's not an either-or situation. This thing is doing a lot of damage. Italy closed it's borders and 60 million of it's people have to stay at home. Not to mention the market dropped 2000 points today.
This thing is serious. Ask the families of the people who've died how meaningless this is.

it can spread. I do think though, the death rate is somewhat inflated due to not being sure exactly how many people have it and reported it/tested for it.
Regardless, it's something to be taken seriously. Even if you feel it won't affect you, I know enough of us are in closed quarters with others at work, church, sports, etc. with someone that might be more at risk.
And washing your hands should just be a common practice that a disease shouldn't have to prompt

What’s really interesting is the mortality rate in China outside the Hubei province where it started.
China 80,754 cases, 3,136 deaths. 3.88%
Hubei alone: 67,760 cases, 3,024 deaths 4.46%
Elsewhere in China: 12,994 cases, 112 deaths. 0.86%
