Now you're heading towards Soapbox territory ... and we all know what happened to that.
I understand you are upset, worried, even scared by what is happening close to you. But it's a natural reaction - and certainly round here - to make a joke of it. Don't take it so seriously; don't take it as an attack or derision for your circumstances. If it isn't appropriate, hit the flag. Otherwise, #just ignore it and move on. I learned a while ago that "Life is too short to argue with idiots and script kiddies" - so just count to ten and move on. No-one wins an internet argument ...

No, I will not count to ten! Report me, I'm ok with it.
And I'm hoping for you all that 'it' does not come to you... should I hope it really, maybe it would be only a natural selection?

Now I mean this with all of the best of intentions but it seems to me that you're not as fired up as the poster because, so far as I've heard, sheep don't get the CorVid-19.

.... but nobody wants to address it here.
The 'Coronavirus' ...
Personally I'm affected because located near Milano, working with people from Milano, China and more or less with all other countries in the world.
Anybody out there in the same situation?
E.g:
May no longer travel
Can't help friends out there
más o menos: Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS[^]
[Edit]
Please, I was also very relaxed until I was aware I'm in between 
Sorry, I'm wrong. Of course, the omniscient CP-- members know much better

You do realize the flu is more deadly than the coronavirus. The flu has a higher mortality rate. why is everyone making a stink about this virus and not he flu.
Not saying we should not be concerned but the media is causing this panic and this virus has been politicized at every level, and now the markets are tanking because if it.

Sometimes it is (Spanish flu), but usually it isn't.
Check the link I posted below and do your own math.
Average mortality in flu is 0.17%.

Sorry but pay attention and present how this 0.17 will be calculated

I'd leave it.
A certain-coloured person who lives in a certain coloured house says it's not a problem, and there are people who believe every word he says (and who would just love the Lounge to turn into Soapbox v2), so it's best to try not to be drawn into that kind of discussion.

I do not pay too much attention to the news but the little I have seen/heard make it sound the opposite of that.
Why are whole cities getting locked down I wonder?

What case? You weren't on trial. I didn't even disagree with you. 
It's my understanding, from the news, that the death rate is higher, which I believe is the reason behind the hysteria.

exactly my point. the news is spreading lies.
Corona virus is bad, no doubt, but not as bad as other contagions like the flu. Markets don't take a beating for the flu. Supply chains are not compromised because of the flu. but, they sure are for the C virus.
lol. whatever.

I'd start to worry when if they didn't do that.

I guess it depends on perspective. If you look at total numbers, yes. If you look at percentages, no, the beer virus is worse. 4 out of 5 people know that numbers can always be spun to support any belief.
