Sadly, there is a lot more going on. For every death, there are likely 10-60 contaminated people. A lot of people that get this, will only have minor symptoms, or none. But that doesn't mean they can't infect others. I personally am not overly concerned. I'm not out there doing a hug-fest with everyone I meet and no one has sneezed on me in weeks.
But. My wife is a high risk person. History of pneumonia/bronchitis, over the age of 60 and a smoker. She is... somewhere between terrified and overly pro-active. And worried that I might bring something home. She won't leave our home. She'll go outside, but only in our yard, not anywhere that she might come into contact with others. Big argument today about what's reasonable and what's paranoid. Timelines from other countries suggest that now is the time we need to be limiting contact. Not later when people are found to be diagnosed. By then, they were already contagious for a week or more prior to being diagnosed.
Puts me in an uncomfortable position. Of course I care for my wife and would not willingly put her at risk. So, is going to the event putting her at risk? To some degree, probably. Is it an un-reasonably risk? Right now, I don't think so, but she does. We'll see what 6 weeks brings. I don't like being in this position. And I don't like not doing things I would normally do. But I do love my wife. And I don't want to end up being the cause of stress to her, much less illness or death. That would be a hard pill to swallow in hindsight.
