What utter and complete nonsense. How is the reaction more dangerous than the actual virus?
So far, there have been almost 4,100 recorded deaths for the Coronavirus. If China had not quarantined entire cities (with millions of people), airlines had not created travel restrictions, etc, this would have been MUCH, MUCH worse.
And remember, this is just the beginning. The Coronavirus has just started in most countries (including the US).
It is just those sort of opinions that will cause even more deaths.
