A million out of more than 7B is what? Answer: less than 1.4%
2% of the 1.4% are serious.
Serious and worthy of precautions, yes.
Deserving of "media driven hysteria". No
Deserving of hoarding TP and booze? No
Deserving of hoarding virus masks and depriving the medical community of same? No
Deserving of panicking the majority of the population who are not at great risk? No
Numerically worse than the number of normal deaths individually from car accidents (18X COVID so far)? No
Numerically worse than the number of normal deaths by suicide (38X COVID so far)? No
Numerically worse than the number of normal deaths via a normal flu season (85X COVID so far)? No
Numbers could easily get worse but you are allowed to acknowledge current factual stats away from emotional response and still take this very seriously. But many will just keep quoting the morning news and say X new cases today, X new deaths while wringing their hands and forgetting about context.
