The OP implied the virus wasn't real because he doesn't know anyone who got sick.

So it is "fake" in a sense, as in we are reacting as if we are in the midst of the 1918 Spanish Flu - a very serious pandemic - when in fact we are in a much milder version of what pandemic brings to mind and that we should be reacting to it accordingly.

As I said above: Dr Kim as had experience with numerous infectious diseases and covid 19 is the most challenging, and then you'll have "people of the Internet" showing up on gfy telling us this isn't serious and that, "in a sense it must be fake".
I don't argue on the Internet anymore, this is bad for my blood pressure and my general well being. I am merely posting a link to videos that showcase scientists who know what they are talking about as opposed to John Does who "have impressions that "it is fake".
You replied to me right away, I suggest you watch the videos first and then form an opinion. We're not experts.
Also, the consequences of the virus have been mitigated for obvious reasons: we are in 2020, scientists have access to experience, knowledge, communication etc ... + governments have put in place some restrictions and lock-downs. Now that those countries are lifting the lockdowns, we see a raise in cases (2nd wave).
That's as much time as I am willing to spend on the topic.
Good luck everyone!
