I'm not sure I get why it bothers some people if they link it to the virus. There should be no panic however it's still a threat for a part of the population and it's normal that the media talk about it. It's not the end of the world but it needs to be contained to prevent deaths

I mean it's the same symptomes and it happens even with the regular flu. It's quite normal, it has nothing to do with incompetence.
It would be gross incompetence to declare any death to be coronavirus related (without definitive proof) in such sensitive times. the impact of any coronavirus diagnosis, especially in a country with few cases, is substantial.

they arent just chalking off deaths to coronavirus cause someone had a fever lol

There are tests for Corona.

They don't just label it Corona to try and make you panic.
So far they describe corona as a fever, higher temperature, caugh, sneezing, having problems breathing. Are you aware it's just like the regular flu?

In 2002 in Asia when SARS appeared, death rate was 10% over there but symptoms were easily recognized and it hit harder unlike corona that has way too many common things with the regular flu. After a couple of months they managed to controll the disease (SARS) easier, though.

Even in Iran with tanking economy they run tests. “China created this as a bioweapon” is a much more believable conspiracy theory.

I chat with work colleagues, friends there is no one who is panicked, the contrast is striking when you turn on the TV we are on the verge of apocalypse because an old man is dead (probably of old age).

Dude you don't post here unless you have to say that corona is killing everyone and spread warnings about people drinking more fluids.
