I hear you Steely. The definition of intellectualising some thing is below and that is exactly what I see happening here.
In psychology, intellectualization is a defense mechanism by which reasoning is used to block confrontation with an unconscious conflict and its associated emotional stress – where thinking is used to avoid feeling.[1] It involves removing one's self, emotionally, from a stressful event.

I think the media has actually been quite responsible on this one. Most of the time, I would not give them such credit, but most of the articles I've read seem to lay out facts, statistics, and recommended practices from knowledgeable experts. I don't get the feeling they are trying to spread panic, but the facts are grim enough to warrant new social behaviors and better hygienic habits.

Good one MantaLady, and understand the psych. definition.
I was taking you to mean true intellect and reasoning in understanding something. In this case exponential growth.
Nice to meet you MantaLady.

coronavirus is nothing to me.
I appreciate that you were perhaps trying to set folks mind at ease and you're certainly entitled to your opinion Mathematics....
and I'm entitled to ask you to take it to PM or another site.
This is not a discussion leading anywhere.
I don't want to spend the time I have here referreeing fights,
Lets all pull together.
