Concern and informed/quiet vigilance does not equate to panic. Panic is overstating it and presumptive.
I work/consult in MegaPharma's vaccines & diagnostics division.
The experts; virologists, epidemiologists, immunologists - the guys that are working on the actual vaccine to this virus itself, folks that I work with, have a healthy (no pun intended) respect for this virus and its spread. When they do, I take notice.
My concern, for myself and others, is not so much at being at risk for infection, but what happens to the infrastructure if a pandemic occurs.
Having been in a leadership role on a Pandemic team twice, it's about the "what ifs" and how best to anticipate them. For me, now is the time to consider the "what ifs". Watchful waiting in a way.
The CDC has not instilled a sense of comfort.
Comparing chronic/manageable illnesses to a virus with an astounding viral load is not a reasoned comparison. It's a bit of a non sequitur.
We all approach these things differently. This is mine. YMMV.
