Even if your life is dominated entirely by self-interest, and the interests of the rest of the population isn't important to you, don't you have any elderly relatives? Or friends with pre-existing conditions?

Speaking only for myself, I have elderly in-laws who I'd rather stick around, a wife with asthma and I know well two people on immunosuppressants. So I'm not taking this lightly at all.

I am not paying a visit to my elderly eelatives in the upcoming weeks and maybe months. So much I have already stated elsewhere. HOWEVER, the original question was how much people are concerned regarding this. And I stand with what I've said, I am not concerened about Coronavirus killing me. And I think some western countries, like italy, are overreacting.
