It is paranoia of the highest order.
It's someone standing in a roof screaming "We're all gonna die !!"
Meanwhile, the rest of us just get on with life. We don't ignore major crises, but we don't panic about them either.

There are things that we as individuals can change, and things we can't. if you're going to worry about anything, it makes more sense to worry about the things you can change, than it does to worry about things that are entirely out of your control.

Oh I totally agree, there isn't a lot we can do when it comes to natural disasters...NZ has had its fair share of earthquakes lately but I am worried about idiots like Trump and Kim, two narcissistic psychopaths who hold the worlds safety in their hands. I do believe that doom is just 5 minutes away.
