Indeed Bobby indeed
Here is how you should look at coronavirus

If you are under 50 it is less of a threat than the flu so you should give it the same sort of attention you gave the flu season in previous years
Probably very little

If you are over 50 then you need to realise that you have a 1 in 2 chance of contracting a semi fatal cancer
And that is going to completely blow your mental state
Coronavirus for the over 50 year olds is probably a 1-in 100 chance of death
and probably the whole terrifying episode will be over in a fortnight

Think of how much less anxiety provoking coronavirus is when compared to being informed by your doctor that you have a carcinoma of the pancreas
or there is a spot in your brain that is growing
All they have just discovered cancer in your liver

Now that is going to be something truly anxiety-provoking

So use the coronavirus as a little warm-up exercise for dealing with the inevitable medical catastrophe that awaits you
If it's not cancer it will be dementia
Or incontinence or blindness or some other catastrophe

Coronavirus is merely a opportunity to practice tackling medical threat head on and realising you are the sort of creature that is resilient enough to tackle medical threat head on

Because believe me when the doctor tells you you have cancer
Hiding under your bed
Locking yourself away from the world
And thinking that you can maintain immortality that way
Is going to be a very stupid strategy

I must admit that Australia has found a new empowerment culturally through the Medical Industry. Many nations look to Australia for the lead in this. We have come up with many great Medical innovations. During the first Global Wave, even China made every effort of sharing info and paying respect to the Medical side of Australia and it's people.
But just not the 'Political' side of Australia
Medicine can be a great 'Economic' direction for this country. New innovation under a new type of adversity.
Many businesses have converted their factories into production of Medical equipment. God knows, the World needs it.

But I also must say, like Sport and Music - it's the Medical 'Women' who are the Alpha here in Australia, not the Males.
(Bojack will dissagree here His credentials are at stake  - but hey, he doesn't offer much here anyway  )

If you really want a World Leader Medically and in the Alpha 'Male' way - which the World really wants to see. You must go to New Zealand (Oceania) - where they really do 'culturally' put Medicine before Politics (Alpha Female: Jacinta).

In NZ - if you take a fall in a supermarket. You get the best Medical care, not a lawsuit of $$$ to spend on drugs and alcohol.  It's a quick fix solution that doesn't allow Lawyers to exploit. When it comes to WH&S, etc - they are far better than us and even their witches-hats are double the size of ours on the roads.

Anyway, well done Australia (especially the Alpha Medical Women, in the face of the Alpha Political Men).

...as you can see, the American Freedom to Disease - has somewhat crept into Victoria like a group of North Americans running the Eureka Stockade.

In essence, Australian 'Medical' Male is nothing more than a Dr Who in a 'Political' Police Box called Sahul: trapped in 40,000 years of time warp.

New Zealand & Oceania is the real deal with Medicine.
They will lead the way for the World.

...if it gets really bad here with Corona and drafting for USA agendas. I reckon I'll 'boat' it to the Cook Islands.

Never heard of the flu doing this to anyone under 50.

One day after a negative coronavirus test, this 23yo Melbourne man was in emergency with the virus

And, I wonder how many others are testing negative when they really do have the virus? That's definitely something to worry about.
