Now, there are certain groups of people that are more at risk to get very sick or die from this. But, we have NEVER shut the country down for any contagious disease. Swine flew, SARS, Mad cow disease, common flu, etc. Now, just stop for a moment and think about this. If more people are dying from the common flu then this covid virus, WHY is everything shut down?

I can agree with what you're saying about the press sensationalizing everything. I don't think that certain parts of the country should still be shut down. I personally think that people should be given a bit more credit for using common sense in situations like handling money (or tires,gas cans timeslips). Wash your hands as many times as it takes.
HOWEVER, more people died from covid-19 last month than died from the flu in all of last year.
