There appears to be no discrimination between the flu or the Chinese coronavirus. Nearly every death with an associated sickness is being attributed to Chinese coronavirus, without the benefit of autopsies.)

Anyway, the models were completely wrong. The alarmists and the media are complicit in ginning up this so-called crisis.
Is there an answer to my question in here? I may have missed it.

Should I take your reply to mean "yes the alarmists overreacted, and there is no reason to shut the food plants"?
