Yeah, it's all become a bit of a nonsensical exercise in hysterics at this point. In my school, for example, we had complete closure with full online learning from March to the end of last school year, and yet there were no cases in our entire town. None.

Now, we have multiple cases not only in our town, but in our school community (no students, but people connected to the school), and yet it's business as usual as if there were no virus.

So, which is it? Is it a deadly pathogen or relatively harmless bug? My sense is that it spreads very quickly, but is only slightly more deadly than the flu, with most of it's lethality saved for the old and those with serious existing conditions. So, why the hysteria?
