My church had its Sunday service via Zoom.

A close friend of mine happens to be an immunologist at Oxford University (Formerly at Harvard Medical School and the Portuguese national institute of medicine, with her doctorate from Oxford). She correctly predicted to me the widespread of the virus (She said it would be much more widespread than then advertised), but said the death rate would be much lower than advertised. Essentially, she says compare it to the seasonal flu not the black plague. She also predicted it would become a seasonal thing from now on, just like the flu. I trust her opinion on the matter over anyone else I know.

So think prudence, as with the flu season, not panic.

I'm no medical expert, but the funny thing is the people with no formal medical knowledge I've encountered who disagree with her opinion. I said to someone who said what said is wrong: "With respect, you're a 20-year-old barista serving me a coffee at the corner coffee shop. She's at Oxford."
