I'm fine with that. As I bet this all turns out to be a nothing burger in reality vs the sky is falling approach that's leading us into a bad recession. No one is concerned over the panddemic of obesity and I guarantee more people will die this year from heart attacks and other obesity related deaths and no one freaks out over those.

People who care enough about their life/health/wellbeing to freak out about being obese aren't going to find themselves waking up the next day obese. The same can't be said for corona virus.
