I don't think anyone ever said we're all gonna die.
You're making light of something that is potentially the pandemic of the century. Maybe you're young and live in an unaffected area but many of us are worried about our communities. Some have compromised immune systems. I know I'm worried about my parents more than anything.
China doesn't bring their economy to a halt and build hospitals in a week over a flu. It's 35 times more fatal than the flu and much more contagious.
It’ll be ironic when I die from it.
We don’t actually know the fatality rate yet. We actually have no idea and won’t for a long time, because we don’t know how many people have actually contracted the virus. Our best guess is currently the rate in South Korea - 0.6%. Even that is likely a high estimate. What makes this virus dangerous is an abnormally high rate of critical cases. It’s going to be difficult and it’s going to kill people and that’s terrible. On the other hand, I make light of a lot of terrible things, because that’s who I am.
