It depends on what media you’re using, and this is also true for a lot of information that we receive. In my opinion, the actual disease itself is not as much of a threat to the general public as some media organisations might be making out, the concern is for those groups at higher risk and for the impact a lot of cases would have on our health service. If a lot of sick people with this virus need to access healthcare, then our medical professionals will struggle to continue normal care for others. As well as this, people who are already quite sick or the elderly could be more likely to experience worse symptoms if they were to catch the virus. This is why it’s so important that we all work together to try and stop the spread of this illness and do all we can to support our community and health service. I would say it’s still important to not panic, follow the guidance from the health authorities, and take the advice given to us by the experts seriously. The link to the government website above provided by Martha is a good place to get your information from on what to do.
