By the time you wrote that, the scope and definition of COVID-19 was already pretty well defined, and doctors and epidemiologists were already issuing warnings. It took a special kind of stubborn, a willful and deliberate act of will to say 'nah, I won't read, I will stay ignorant and assume I am fine, because even though I am bing warned, I ain't seen this before, so I can't imagine it is a real threat'.
By that time, I had already started e-mailing my friends and family to take this seriously and start buying provisions.
Grouping this together with other disasters that were averted (through alot of time and money) and having the attitude of 'nuthin' ever happens, so I will just ignore the news' is, well, not smart.
