What I feel like you disregard in your opinion on fear and such is how transmissible this disease is, and the effects that it has on the older population. By saying "young people don't die from it therefore we shouldn't be doing such extreme measures" downplays the ease at which this can be transmitted to older folks BY those young people (who will survive!). And so no, as a 25 year old I may not die, but I certainly won't feel comfortable visiting my near 60 year old parents any time soon. Right now it takes the younger folks to help shield the older ones from catching an incredibly contagious, and (to them) deadly disease.
