This whole thing stinks to high heaven. At most so far 59 people have died, with most of them being in one nursing home in Kirkland WA. The media is fear mongering harder than ever to make orange man look bad. Schools and businesses are closing which is sure to send us into recession if not worse. Out of 330,000,000 people, 59 have died in the US and everything is screeching to a halt. Something isn't right here but it's fucking everything up. The economy was the best it's ever been in the history of our country and now everything is going to shit because of less than 100 deaths. More people probably die each year from skiing accidents. This is un fucking believable.
EDIT: I'm not saying this is a total hoax. I'm saying the media overreaction is making things way worse than they have to be. Panicking is never going to make anything better. If this is truly as bad as some of you are saying, I hope it justifies sending our economy into great depression 2 Corona boogaloo
Your country doesn't want to be like Italy.
They ignored the problem until it got out of control. Now, they are having to decide who gets to live and who dies, because they don't have enough critical care resources for the critically ill.
My country is fucking retarded. There's nobody working. I have shit that needs to be done, and everyone here (SARS or not) takes off from work if they have the slightest sniffle, or simply that they got home too late the night before and didn't feel like coming in. There's not a hard worker in a hundred square miles. Except for Polish people, of course.
You are fucking batty if you believe that LOL. This is not the next plague. Take your meds.
You can read the news in Italy, and see for yourself.
Mass hysteria and poor self-care causes deaths? Oh man, is water wet as well?
Translation: you were wrong, and don't want to admit it.
Go edit your prior response and apologize, and maybe I'll respond further.
Otherwise, have a nice day.
