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

It was here that an exasperated anesthesiologist revealed this week that the lack of available breathing machines and ICU beds were forcing doctors to make devastating decisions about who to save and who to let die, based on age and health conditions. “We decide depending on their age and the condition of their health. That is not me saying that, but the medical procedure manuals,” Christian Salaroli, 48, told the newspaper Corriere della Sera.
