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
China has more or less contained it, and if China can do it, so can we.
I don't believe a thing that comes out of China.
It's probably worse over there than we are lead to believe.
Found the Chinese Reddit bot!
Don't believe a fucking thing Chyna says.
China didn’t try to #FlattenTheCurve.
They just quarantined some cities and let if flame out in a burst of glory to get it over with. Notice how all Apple stores have already reopened in China? “Flattening the curve” with social distance will indeed likely lower the number of cases contracted, but not enough to significantly ease any hospital resource shortages enough. It will also greatly prolong the negative economic effects.
China was actually smart in my opinion in letting it essentially burn itself out in a blaze of glory. They’re already getting back to normal.
