why I've been trying to learn as much as I can about it. A month ago it was more out of scientific curiosity. Now it's more about protecting myself and loved ones as best as I can. I still don't think it's some sort of extinction event. But I do worry that some people are being way too dismissive of it. And the x-factor of it all is we really still just don't know enough about the virus to make lots of sound conclusions.
