If those bother you, go read something else.

Yes, this! There is no need to panick. Unless you're old or have a compromised immune system its very unlikely to kill you. Instead of fear mongering we should stay informed and take a moment to realize that centuries of disease management has eventually lead to us being able to significantly reduce the spread of this disease. And as long as it's been around now, nothing has really shown any significant changes.
Ultimately, if you're doing what you should already be doing in the first place, then by all means go about like it's any other day. Because it is.
Haven't seen any of that going on in this thread or in these forums in regards to this topic so far.
I don't think you have either.
I wouldn't worry too much,anything exported China doesn't normally last more than a month

Going on about stores here closing, taking extra precautions that aren't necessary, and over stating the risk of the virus is fear mongering.
How deadly is the coronavirus?
(spoiler, unless you're over 80 not very, about 1 - 2%)
Where might those posts be?
(and don't try and point to the post I just deleted because I posted that after your claim of fear mongering).
Like what for instance?
Who's doing that and where?
Seriously, what are you going on about?
Edit: ah, OK. forgot about this (from Prepping for the Coronavirus)
I wouldn't call that fear mongering, I'd call that giving the people who want it a heads up.
It happened in china, after all.

Except that's not going to happen. And, even if it does, those are things you should already be doing.

Or posting daily the number of people infected, died, and recovered. That's an obsession, and focusing on it to ask unhealthy extent. Those numbers are basically useless to anyone already doing what they should. They won't help you, they won't spare you, they do nothing except give you a tally.
I see, so you're basically following me around the forums and poking me with a stick for my own good.
I'm touched.
Believe it or not, I'm not doing this for myself.
I'm putting the information out there for whoever wants it. Obviously, you don't. That's OK, nobodies forcing it on you.

This is how it is affecting the UK.
Since Covid-19 originated in China, the Chinese have had more time to take measures to try and contain the outbreak then other countries that were infected later.
That's actually kind of encouraging: it shows that we have some control over the spread. Potentially anyway.

Over 3 million dead worldwide. This thread has aged well

The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide, annual influenza epidemics result in about 3-5 million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths.
What is the global incidence of influenza?
So covid is a little over six and a half times as deadly at the most generous influenza estimate, with global precautions taken which weren't for influenza.

Heck I am not worried at all!
I just got my first shot of Moderna today. Next shot on June 8th. Already scheduled. And I am a survivor to boot. I tested positive Dec. 1 after going through the worst of it (which for me luckily was not that bad). I was not in a hurry for the vaccine because at first I could not get it due to having the virus too recently. Then I kept getting "no vaccinations available" on line. Finally I decided to talk to a real human being and it was sooooooooooo easy.
By the way, I did not even feel the injection.
