The intelligent ones aren't freaking out but are computing * economic impact of fear of a pandemic * economic impact of shutdown of > 60,000,000 people in china to the rest of the world * economic impact of panic of people not educated enough to judge real risk of becoming infected * media inertia * china specific cover-up tendency * actions in china * 2nd and 3rd derivative effects of fear of a pandemic (i.e. delayed/missing deliveries of required medicines) * fear-caused outage of food etc., since the delivery chain may collapse if fear raises into a critical level etc.pp. In other words: from my POV (and my peers), nobody really fears the virus itself but the effect it causes to the social environment. |
