You do realize I can post links from reputable epidemiologists, virologists, and physicians that directly contradict your links. It's all based on modeling. Is it fake news? No. Is this disease a serious public health issue? Yes. Does it warrant the level of fear, panic, and destroying our way of life? I'm saying no.
If you are interested in doing your own research instead of the media and our government class telling you what to think, check out gis.cdc.gov. Its mortality statistics.
