I agree that we should be concerned about the virus, but a sense of proportion is needed. For example, the Telegraph is shouting today that one in ten in this country could end up in hospital. Really? Do we have over 6 million hospital beds? I think not...

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/02/28/coronavirus-one-10-people-uk-could-hospitalised/

We could also benefit from better information from the DoH and other authorities, even the experts we've supposedly had enough of. It's endlessly repeated that "the elderly" are more at risk, but *how much* greater is the risk? Without some indication of the scale of this the warning is meaningless - and worse, alarmist.
