Title. Apparently there is a cruise ship quarantined right now because of this. And a guy at work was telling me some of the staff escaped? Not sure what exactly is going on but is it cause for concern?

It’s fucked up but you’re seeing so much about it online and hearing so much about it because sensationalized fear translates to money and attention for those seeking such things.
That’s not to say that this virus isn’t dangerous and devastating to those affected, infected, and exposed to it. We definitely shouldn’t be down playing that. It’s just that this virus has no chance of causing a major disruption of our lives on a wide-spread global scale.
This is exactly the sort of reasoning I used to downplay COVID though
Brutal honestly here,
So because of your own willfully ignorance and lacking education on the topic. You are now over correcting in the other direction via fear and panic because you fucked up the first time. Due to the same external forces that you allowed dictate your actions the first time. Aka bad faith journalism and misinformation.
The actual solution to your problem is to go actually learn about the topic so you can make an informed opinion and action plan with our relying on random internet strangers to tell you how to think. And by learn, that doesn’t mean go watch some shitty 5 min video on YouTube or ask some random fucking idiot on reddit or Lemmy. Go actually educate yourself. Proper long form content from licensed doctors and nurses or books. Educating your self will help with the anxiety, fear, etc. And it prevents the fear mongering from bad faith news sources to dictate your thoughts and opinions.
