The recent losses on the share market are just a correction and there is no need to panic. The media over hype of Corona Virus is creating worry, panic, fear and anxiety. Stay calm, just ignore the hype, business as usual. |
Follow the facts instead of the news

You most likely won't die, even the chance of getting seriously (critically) ill is less than 5%.
However 5% of the population being down for a month, most needing serious care, while the rest worries over their family members...
It will likely take until June, July to reach its peak. If it doesn't happen in a flash, people lose interest, business as usual.
Anyway when do you think it's time to prepare. When it exceeds the yearly death toll of the flu (56k)
5% to 20% of people get the flu each year, which only lasts a few days for most, most don't even stay home.
Coronavirus is estimated at being able to infect 40% to 70% of all people with 5% of those needing critical care.
Not business as usual.
And yep flu kills older people faster as well.
(Don't think it kills women more than men, women have a higher avg life span, thus higher total in the older brackets)
Anyway, yearly flu shots are not there for nothing. It will still be a year to 18 months to get a coronavirus shot.
