Yep, I looked at Out World in Data [0] at the time and from the numbers it was very clear to me that it was a disease that was mainly risky for old people and people with co-morbidities. At that point it was clear to me that most people wouldn't need to be very scared.

I was scared because I had elderly relatives.

The idea that we should only worry about ourselves feels deeply immoral to me.

What about the idea that we should do every panicky thing we are told, including shun loved ones and demand people be rounded up or locked in their houses forcibly? Does that feel deeply immoral to you?
