Here they say 98 till 99.8% of the people have no symptoms. And all that people need to stop their lives just to save less than can be saved by an influenza vaccine? That is the point. The risk of getting a real problem with this virus is smaller than getting a car accident. That is the problem.
I agree with @DownUnderwater Dan , most don't have symptoms, and all that people need to stop their lives? That is the strange thing in this. Let everybody decided for themselves. In a flu epidemic, people that are in a riskgroup will take measurements themselves. So don't visit things, ask people not to come. But now everybody is limited in their life and that is the bad thing. There is no future now for people who are in their best days of life. You cannot make plans.
This affects really the diving industry, that is based on people travelling around the world.
It is also based on people who have the money to dive. If countries make their taxes or insurances higher, then people cannot travel anymore. Also if this takes too long, people who are interested in diving will loose their interest and others will getting other health problems they have to quit. You cannot make advertisements to sell courses now. And you need to restart your business from almost zero if you ever can start again.
