From this story sounds like a moderate flu. Fever, coughing, body aches, and congestion.
It does seem like the media is click-baiting the world for profit.

Yes! Fear media is money. And for people in the public health infrastructure, this is their moment to shine! Who wants to poo poo the situation?

That's why it's important to have positive stories like this one, the media is only focusing on the negative ones even though they only count for < 1% of the real situations.

Yeah, and a couple of days ago LinkedIn got spammed by "Supply Chains will die" posts. Well, at least my feed. So yeah, a hell of a load of clickbait all over the place. And only minority is trying to calm things down.

The death rate is 2-2.5% so how do you suggest that the negative cases are <1%?? At least every death is a 'negative story' and something tells me you don't want ARDS or secondary infection, so that's probably negative too.

Fear is better click bait
