I have to admit that I didn't fully appreciate the gravity of the situation. Even last week, from what I wrote, you'd know that I was dismissive about the whole epidemic situation. Why? Because how we think gets affected by the people around us. If people around us panic, we panic. If they're relaxed, we're relaxed.
