Yes, yes, i know :) I was just joking off of the fact that _now_ is not the time to bar our doors and stock up on ammo. Which sorta implies that there _is_ a time to panic. (And hence the wink at the end =)
I'm not really putting much faith in the alert level things at the moment though. I realize they're technical definitions, but they don't seem to have much relation to what _i_ feel is significant. They're trying to figure out what actions they should take for the future, i'm concerned with what the situation actually is at that particular moment, and like i said, i don't think the particular moment is even worth being concerned about until the number of infections per day hits four digits and the number of deaths per day hits two digits. (Or until i personally get sick through some weird fluke of course.)
