Sounds like you're one of the people panicking and allowing overblown facts from the media to fuel it.

Here is what the media will tell you: "Covid-19 is x10 deadlier than influenza."

I am not saying they are incorrect. Covid-19 is indeed deadlier than the flu virus. But look at it this way. If you made a penny a day, and someone came to you saying they are going to multiply your earnings 10 fold. It really isn't that significant of an increase, is it?

The damage you are seeing caused to the lungs are caused by any number of respiratory illnesses, including the normal flu. The lungs are regenerative, and are constantly repairing themselves from the everyday toxins you take in. If they did not, humans would have much shorter lifespans.

Most people who die from the flu actually die in the hospital from catching pneumonia during their visit. IN the hospital! Ironic isn't it? The very place you go to get better ends up doing you in.

Of course, I am not saying to just be complacent during this outbreak, but a lot of what you are witnessing is the very definition of a wide-spread panic, and when this globe really decides to take a crap on humanity, I would use this as a direct example of what NOT to do.
