Ok everyone...before panic starts getting out of control, I wanted to post these stats. I know, it's GLP and Doom Central. Statistics and hard data are poison here.

I am NOT diminishing coronavirus' visibility in the media or trying to undermine the seriousness of washing your hands, and making sure that we don't let this spread. Instead, I'm posting this to make sure we keep perspective so that, when the time is right, we can then start panicking.

But, this IS GLP, so I'm sure my post will fall on deaf ears. I tried.
