You are more likely to die or suffer any long-term complications just going about your day normally in Chicago than you are letting people literally cough into your mouth and nose (unless you have respiratory issues) in an attempt to be infected.
Unless we learn that covid19 has some supermagic powers that include "not being similar to every other COV strain" (which based on everything anyone working on medical research [myself included, hithere!] has seen, it absolutely doesnt), I wish nothing more than businesses that are panic closing, conventions that panic shuttered, and any company urging people to hide in a hole like its the end of days goes bankrupt and never reopens, and those people in charge of making those statements never get hired by another company and find themselves living in a hole until the end of theirs.
Its sheer and utter lunacy.
Chinese, Korean, Japan, India, Italian, Spanish, German, Polish, France, USA, UAE, Turkey, Taiwanese, Singapore epidemiologists, doctors and researchers from around the world with WHO on top they all are overreacting by locking down entire countries, sacrificing the economy and shutting down almost all international travel, what a bunch of lunatics.
Instead they should listen to the FFXIV game forum epidemiologists and their expertise on the pandemic of a disease we never encountered, neither did our immune systems and there is no cure for it yet.

Eh if only they knew this forum exists...
