Not sure why everyone wants to completely downplay this virus. It is easier to contract than the FLU, lays dormant in your system for longer than the FLU, and obvious based on current numbers it kills at a much higher rate than the FLU.

Sure you can say, the percentage could drop as more people get it, and more testing is available. COULD is a dangerous word with a disease that kills at a higher percentage so far and is more contagious and lays dormant longer(thereby making spreading it much more easy)

I decide what to to about communicable diseases/viruses from the people who have schooled and trained most of their adult life, you know, the CDC. The talking heads from MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News are morons, and taking advice from them about a virus is similar to taking your car to a bicycle shop to have work done on it.

If only we could get our information from the CDC we would be better off. Instead this is being run by the VP. Personally, I didn't know he was a doctor and therefore he would be qualified. If he's not, then it's another attempt to mislead the public so the economy wouldn't crash. Too late for that and now there is so much disinformation no one knows the details and is truly prepared.
