You may quibble about death rates, but not all the information is available. The death rate may be far less than the reported death rate since not all cases are accounted for.
My guess is that you did not feel the same way about H1N1. Why? Because of media and social media.
I am a responsible person and only my wife thinks I'm a fool since she knows me best! I refuse to give into scare tactics. You have your right to believe what you believe, and I have my right to believe what I believe. Just because we differ, that doesn't mean I'm irresponsible or a fool.

I did not in anyway call you irresponsible or a fool. The only thing I suggested was to deal with facts and I, in no way, suggested you were not. I did not attack you.
I honestly do not know why you would infer this from what I wrote. I agree we do not have all the information. You have every right not to give into “scare tactics.”
I understand your point about H1N1...I hope the outcome is the same but, at this point I am not optimistic. Your suggestion of an overreaction to Covid-19 may turn out to correct. I hope it is.
