Next to zero. Im healthy, my family is healthy so there is nothing to fear, imo.

I find it all very interesting but I am not personally freaked out that we are all going to die :mrgreen:

My area was already being slammed by the flu so I have been running a prevent defense for awhile

We are reasonably cautious, as well as prepared to stay in for a while. I had the flu a few weeks back, and we were both able to stay put, just so we wouldn't spread anything.
I am pleased to see that businesses are stepping up. We don't have a pet at the moment, but I just got a notification from Petco telling everyone how they are preparing, same for several others. Of note, they all said they were taking steps so that employees can take care of themselves or their loved ones, if needed. People are stepping up left and right, people are coming together. That is how it should be.

I'm being cautious, but not paranoid at this point. I think most of us will get it, just depends on how severe it is.

None really, or to be more precise, no more than when the flu was going around. "Overall, the CDC estimates that 12,000 and 61,000 deaths annually since 2010 can be blamed on the flu. Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the flu kills 290,000 to 650,000 people per year."

So far we've had 41 deaths due to corona virus.

We'll have to wait and see, but from the stats so far, remember I'm a numbers guy. We have more to fear from the flu than corona virus. Now that may change, but until then, I'll treat it like the flu. In other words, I'm not going to get all bent out of shape.

How is complacent spelled? Oh! Looks like I've got it right first time.

Personally, I'm not at all worried. I'm an older person, but I've never been prone to hysterical reactions such as the ones we're witnessing during this situation. The social and mass media pumping of this is similar, in my view, to the talking points and agenda pimped by the climate change warriors - life as we know it will soon end if we don't, like good little sheeple, jump of the cliff with the "experts".

It's a crime, in my view, that the livelihoods of so many individuals are being dangerously impacted and economies world wide are being harmed, drastically. When this blows over, in a few months, I certainly hope those who worked the hysteria will have the good grace to at least go into hiding because I'm sure they won't have the integrity to apologize.

You spelled confidence wrong.
