>I'm not going to prematurely ruin my life

>Everyone needs to RELAX

You need to understand how hypocritical this sentiment comes off as. Some people are panicking - however, most people and sources (that I am exposed to) are advocating for responses within the range of reason (and there is room for a range of opinions within the range of reason). If you want to spread reason, support the fight against price gouging and against people who buy far too much bulk supplies. But please don't tell random threads full of people to just generally "relax" in all capital, italic letters, while at the same time throwing out wild hyperbole like "I'm not going to ruin my life". It's a very mixed message.

I can go about my day like normal, or I can live in 24/7 fear of getting a virus that has 1/500 chance of killing me (at worst)? Has everyone gone insane? I still believe it's a bad flu, and if I get it I'll follow guidelines, but I'm not going to panic. Just giving a different perspective to the hyperventilating internet culture.
