I'm reading a book at present called The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
It talks about prophecies and these strains of virus's have always been around but have mutated and got much stronger and much more difficult to treat and our inability to fight them, its scary

This is just getting out of hand now . It is a form of Flu . It has a low risk to the healthy . Mortality rate is mainly the v old in China who may be less resilient to it Its effects are not 100% clear but it is looking like the Flu.
Many die here from Flu every year . Un- intended consequence, many more will die of "Standard Flu" because they will be told to stay away from their doctors and so on be afraid of quarantine etc etc .
This is media gone mad at all its levels . It will be dealt a vaccine developed . Economies will recover Matches re staged , holidays re booked. Bad yes END OF THE WORLD NO.

I agree it is being sensationalised with people thinking a death sentence is coming.
However, the reaction of authorities is in line with the real issue - the nearly 1 in 20 death rate for over-60s, the potential to overwhelm existing health services, the potential to take out health care workers for 2-3 weeks at a time of high demand leading to indirect health impacts even for those who are not directly infected.
At a personal level, am I concerned for me? No. But in my family we have a lot of elderly and one relative with a disability who is very susceptible to any kind of infection. Am I concerned about passing something on to them? Absolutely. It will take a few months to properly test a vaccine (which hopefully won't give anyone narcolepsy like the last one did).

I don't think you've all paid enough attention to this. Imagine going for a punt and ending up isolated with Barney Rubble, Willie Wacker, 3 nut jobs from twitter, BeautyAddict, 2 escorts with fake photos, 16 escorts who can't stand the sight of each other, and 2 gardaí doing, eh, reconnaissance.
