Everybody has already shown you how cancer and heart disease patients don't overwhelm our hospitals in short order, and how they don't infect and kill the people trying to treat them.
It was pathetic back in February when airheads were pushing the "it's not as bad as the flu", even though the rest of us were like "holy shit, they are completely locking down parts of China, crippling their economy, and arresting people for breaking the quarantine rules.

DAMNIT THE MASS COMMUNICATION MAJOR ON TV SAID IT'S KEEPING US FROM DOING OUR NORMAL THINGS, AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND LOTS OF WORDS.
The University of Texas at Austin made a nice graph for you
But I bet she's not good at computers!
Actually, she's pretty fucking good with computers, at least going by what the CDC says about her, but what do they know amirite? Well, she did have some help.
Yeah, but seriously, what do her bosses think, that guy that got his epidemwhatever degree at Berkley
Step away from the TV, stop taking your advice from communications and business majors who have shows on TV and are doing their best to keep you watching or play to your personal financial anxieties.
