If you are old or infirm, yes, it's bad. If you are younger and healthier, it's a flu. If you are between the ages of 1-19, for some reason the disease doesn't impact you aggressively at all.

I understand the overwhelming character of the disease. It's amazingly contagious. But it seems so far to only take out the weakened and the old. Like the flu.

I'm not poo pooing the panic, like Musk. But I'm saying people should educate themselves regarding it. If you're a person like me, in good health and not old, you should not be hoarding supplies that old people may need. It's not a big risk for you and doing that is dickish and dangerous to those at serious risk.
