    I wouldn't say its fake news, it more false perception, its a real virus and it can spread, I think there is motives behind the scare that are of a financial ploy more than anything, this virus will be a thing of the past after a year or so, nothing is put into perspective on the news, for instance, the mortality rate in America is 1 death every 12 seconds from any given circumstance with heart disease being number 1, the media is sensationalizing everything for ratings.

    i think it’s easy to become a little panicky over the Coronavirus, such as buying a supermarket full of loo rolls or wearing face masks to the local park, but it’s potentially far worse to be complacent about a virus that is roughly 20 times more lethal than the common flu and that we have no immunisation whatsoever for. So if you get it  you have to entirely rely on your own immune system to fight it off. That combined with the fact the Coronavirus has already shown us that it can mutate rather quickly, hence its jump from animals to humans 

    People say well the flu kills more. That’s because we’ve been extremely cautious in reacting to the Coronavirus, if we carried on as business as usual, then it would kill more people than the flu

    Book a holiday to Northern Italy and visit all the Museums, Churches, Cafes and other busy Public area's, stand next to as many sneezing and coughing people and then come back to your Yahoo account and inform us, of what's really happening....
