Like the guy says - it's one of the larger viral outbreaks of the last 20 years. I don't think anyone is disputing that. What I am less keen on is media reporting on it like it's something I should personally worry about right now to any significant degree. It's not, if anything I should still worry more about getting the 'normal' flu. (However, I did get a flu jab as my work is related to / affiliated with a hospital and they were offering it for free and easily accessible for staff)
Governments around the world are 'on it', it's not something that is being ignored, and as someone not working on anything directly related to it, there is really nothing you can do that you shouldn't already be doing to avoid catching other stuff - and you're also not terribly at risk at the moment.

It's not a biggie unless it hits London ah the old I'm all right jack pull up the ladder.
I'm pulling your leg. It's getting worring here in HK simply beacuse of the boarder issues I know people's work has dried up beacuse of the virus and the lack in confidence in the Gov is staggering. Meaning daft things happening like panic buying big roll. 🙄

If the only thing you define as a 'biggie' is a virus that will wipe out the world, then I agree this isn't it.
However, it now seems likely to me that this will have profound effects that are felt around the entire world, with the possibility for very damaging impacts in some regions of the world.
