The fear-mongering going on surrounding this virus is more dangerous than the virus itself. It's pretty clear that although the virus is spreading at a high rate, it is more mild than Influenza, and is concerning for people with underlying health issues, the elderly, and infants. Influenza kills way more people every year in the US than the worldwide death total from COVID-19 to date. But, no one talks about that...
H1N1 and SARS were far more dangerous (I had H1N1 - that wasn't fun). That said, I think disrupting the spread of the virus is a great idea, and I look forward to seeing the difference on the news once it's released.
