Depends on how you define take it seriously. Most people that get it are fine. Most people that get a bad case end up fine. A very small percentage (and nobody knows that number with such limited testing) die and the overwhelming majority of them have underlying health conditions.
I work from home anyway and don't get out of the house too often, but we did fly to Chicago in late February to visit my grandmother after my grandfather passed away...that was before all hell broke loose. I've been fighting allergies for weeks with highly elevated pollen levels. I've respected the social distancing and haven't gone out other than to go for walks or going to the grocery store. When I do both, I stay away from people. I'm a germaphobe, so I am always washing my hands. It's not out of the realm of possibility that I have the virus, but a weak case of it. I'm not coughing; I'm not sneezing nor do I have a runny nose. No headache, no fever, no anything really other than some difficulty breathing, which is most likely allergy related. Regardless, we stay home unless one of us needs to go to the store, and in that case it's me over my wife because of her underlying health issues. I think I'm taking it seriously; you may say because there's a small chance that I could have it I should be quarantined. If we're being honest, there's a small chance anyone could have it.
Here's your chance mitch...tell me I'm being irresponsible.

Nope, I'm informed and rational. You on the other hand are batshit crazy.
No...no you’re not rational...you’re just full of yourself.
Nope...I know what I know and I know when to admit that I don't know. I'm one of the few that's been saying we don't know from the beginning of this, yet here you guys are acting like you know something. You don't.
You lost your shit so bad that you had to be banned. That's batshit crazy.

See, it begins there, then spreads to rural America, and it will spread. Only by then those other areas will be cleaning up from it and moving along.
This is why we have a CDC & HHS, which when the facts soon come out, will show Trump ignored.
Btw, Kushner was in charge.
LolWhat?
Nobody has a fucking clue, but you've figured it all out. Brilliant!
No, I think its just bad luck that those major metros got hit first and the hardest.
Surely you can believe its a coincidence or that the rest of America simply has better 'Governors'?!
Hindsight is 20/20. It's easier to make decisions now, but the FACT remains is we still hardly know anything about the virus. Doctors are guessing (granted educated guessing) and things are changing daily if not faster than that as a result.
The President (regardless of who it is) isn't responsible for everything that happens. Everyone points the finger when they don't like something he does and ignores the good things. This isn't a political issue. Governors are responsible for their states. Why are you ignoring their failures while being pissed at Trump? Serious question.

My observation is that Trump has done a complete 180 and he’s sounding more like my governor. That just happened today.
Why is Trump sounding like our governor?
End of observation.
Hardly. Trump has bigger issues than Illinois. Your shithead governor on the other hand only has one responsibility, and contrary to unpopular belief it's not to complete the pillaging of every state resource before everyone moves away.

A tool for predicting coronavirus was to be taken seriouslY??
I'm intrigued.
Nope, a tool for what he's done to his state. He is responsible for his state. Not trump, not the rest of us. Do you guys have any clue how the government works?

I find it stunning how many people suddenly feel like closing borders (now even state to state) isn't racist. Interesting times...

My whole street was clapping last night, was surprised but nice to see.
Statistics are largely meaningless at this point. The only one you can take as near enough accurate is deaths. Number of infected is entirely down to how each country is testing. It will only be clearer in the months to come exactly how well each country really managed the situation.
Germany is an interesting one as even they are puzzled that number of deaths is so low. They have the highest number of critical care beds which will help. They also think the virus was brought in by people who’d been skiing in Italy, therefore it spread among an on average younger crowd in the first days and weeks.
This is good - stats are great when they are complete; they aren't so useful when incomplete...that's where they are used to spread fear or to influence things with inaccurate information.
