Agree it it serious just as the flu is serious. We don't need to create a panic and literally bring the global economy to a halt is my point. Just reading the responses I sometimes think people are cheering for pandemic.

There's gotta be some long German word for the state of not wishing bad things will happen, but kinda being glad when anything happens.

I've not come across one, but 'Apokalyptenlust' is grammatically correct and describes the sentiment I think you're referring to.

You two are not in agreement. This isn’t just as serious as the flu, it’s more serious.

More deadly and more easily transmitted.

Also, people of all ages are dying.

The death rates among people over 50 are much higher. See https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-se...

If you're over 50, male, have a weakened immune system, and live in a location with high population density, there may be reason to be concerned.
