What I took away from the information he provided is NOT that this ain't so bad, but that we have endured similar calamities and withstood, persevered and risen from the ashes a better nation and stronger people. Panic and hysteria is neither healthy or productive. Panic resulted in a toilet paper drought, as well as hand sanitizer scarcity and super markets being cleaned out like the results of a swarm of army ants.
But, like I have said before, if one is not running amok yelling "the sky is falling. It's the end of the world" then we are accused of saying this is all a hoax.
Personally, I look forward to the information provided by this OP. And he has NOT down-played this pandemic. He has only provided information so that many on here can feel more informed and knowledgeable about the illness and the degree of damage it is capable of. Let's face it, the media is not helping much, and seeks to sensationalize whatever they deem newsworthy. And who can trust the gov to provide details (either side of the political spectrum)?
I bet I would get a reaction if I was to don my bio-hazard suit to go shopping. When asked, I could simply say "didn't you hear, the CDC is recommending that everyone wear a bio-hazard suit for protection, because this thing will eat through your skin and hair."
