Meanwhile, intelligent people who are for various reasons incredibly stressed out about the spread of the coronavirus are breaking down crying over the sight of people ignoring CDC advice to stay home. Recent estimates suggest that around one million people in the U.S. could be killed by COVID-19 before the initial outbreak has died down and we have some herd immunity to the illness.
