Mike, I'm not picking on you but this mindset is what causes people to be irresponsible and add fuel to the fire. It's not optimal to brush off the threat of this virus and say it has not impacted a higher percentage of our population.
The way a virus like this spreads is alarming. Sharing the same air as an infected person in a hallway could put you at high risk.
Would you want a society with a reactive mindset waiting for the "million" cases or proactive and taking preventative measures.
I have elderly parents and to protect the vulnerable I would rather a see precautionary mindset coming from citizens.
Just my take.

Now if a few million cases were reported in the USA that would be news and still that would be less than 1% and about 80% of these cases have few symptoms , according to the expert doctors.
