Is there something wrong with me because I’m not as panicked about COVID19 as my civilian friends are?

I know I haven’t seen war as many on here have but I’ve been trained on various dangerous things in the military and civilian scope. I’ve served overseas in a place that could go from peaceful to chaos at a drop of a hat. I looked at the enemy from the north in Korea. I’ve been through so much in life that I feel as if I have become kinda numb. Especially to the latest virus, COVID19. I know it’s deadly, but I just view this dangerous thing as something to be respected and as long as I’m not where this virus is I know I’m not going to get infected and neither are my family. It’s caused concern among my civilian friends who haven’t had these experiences I have. Is there something wrong with me that I’m not as panicked as they are?

No need to panic, unless lots of people panic.
It is the mob we have to be concerned about, not the virus. People are a lot less predictable.

Let's see.... Statistically, COVID-19 currently has a 97% (or better) recovery rate Worldwide. I'll agree people should be concerned and take reasonable precautions simply because this thing spreads easier than graphite powder. What I don't understand is the irrational panic many people are displaying. Looking at the CDC's own numbers, statistically, a person is more likely to die in a traffic accident than they are from COVID-19.

I’ve actually lost friends over this as they view me as cold now. I mean I care about it and all. I just see this as a major inconvenience that’s deadly if you aren’t careful. Buy they act as if its going to pop up out of thin air and slap them.
