I disagree. Many "real" sources of information are out there but like most of us, we just continue to watch the news and read newspapers and trust/believe what they spew as being a 100% truthful, factual and telling the whole complete story.
Fear sells and they know this or else we'd be hearing how the cases in China are waning and how many have actually recovered/survived this instead of just those that have died.
I also have an 80 yr old father but he also knows, just like every winter/flu season, he needs to be careful/extra cautious.
