You’re right, everyone is overreacting

No- this is bad because it means people will unknowingly spread the virus and at-risk individuals will heavily carry the cost

I thought people already knew this? The same can be true with the flu.

I don’t think there is a lot of “Mis Information” it’s just that there is a lot of accurate but “click bait” information. Example: You see the headlines “Coronavirus cases continue to rise” you see that and it causes fear and panic and you want to click on it. But of course it will continue to rise, same with car crashes and flu cases, once it happened, it happened, you can’t go back in time and remove an event from history. You see “Coronavirus has a >2% death rate” which is true when you take the (total deaths)/(confirm cases) but makes no mention that if you count all the unreported cases that have came and gone into the statistic, that death rate goes down. Hence why Korea has such low death rates. Not that the virus is less deadly there, it’s just they tested a whole lot more people. But good news doesn’t provide the same pay per click profits as scary news, so why report on it?

Transferred with my company to the UK from the U.S. literally three weeks before the pandemic hit. The transition has definitely been difficult as I came for a new office culture and city experience, leaving loved ones and a higher salary behind, which covid has obviously tainted. Since my situation seems to be unique, would love to get other people’s perspective- would you stick it out or go back?

Hi fellow Aussie consultants. Today’s R U OK day, and whilst I believe one should ask this question on any day, it’s a good reminder for us.
