I'm kind of an alarmist but I read that upwards of 70% of the world's population will contract Coronavirus. It seems to have a 1 - 3% mortality rate. That would equal up to 150 million people dying and as many as 5 million in the US. Still the odds of contracting and dying from it seems to be only a very rare possibility in America.

Fear will only drive down the economy and immobilize people. I agree with keeping to sanitary environments, washing hands, taking vitamins, staying healthy and going about our daily lives.

Fear of the Coronavirus will do much more harm. The majority of is will deal with it as we do the cold or flu.

As a footnote: I was at the local coffee shop with about 15 other people and sitting at a table with my wife. I felt a sneeze coming on and put my face in my sweatshirt and sneezed. The barista said "bless you" and no one ran out of the store. Seems like no one cares.
