CORONAVIRUS MEGATHREAD, COMMENT HERE AND ONLY HERE ON .WIN ABOUT ANY CORONA NEWS
I am thinking about that and I don't understand why you think I wouldn't be. No, I'm not saying that it's going away. I'm pointing out how much we are capable of right now.
The entire point of my comment is because there's too god damn many people spreading fear and speculation and are scaring the shit out of people because they can't be bothered to get any perspective at all.
Yes, exponential growth is a possibility and guess what, we already had to deal with this with H1N1 which had 8 million people get infected in 4 months.
Exponential growth is not a possibility it is an ongoing reality and only stops with social distancing. You’re not understanding that we can’t add a million new patients to what we are capable of right now without overwhelming the system and causing the death rate to spike from something manageable to something horrific. The problem isn’t people being scared, the problem is people downplaying it and not staying the fuck home as much as possible for two weeks.
Quit telling me that I'm not understanding it and then turn around giving the same media garbage response that I'm already calling bullshit. The numbers don't add up. What is being told to us by the MEDIA is not adding up. When you stop listening to them and you start looking at the actual facts, it becomes a lot more clear.
People aren't afraid of what's happening right now nor of what's happened so far. They are afraid of some possibility in which the worst possible scenario plays out and somehow magically we go from 182k confirmed cases to 8 million cases.
I'm trying to take it seriously but I can't when I'm treated like a fucking child. I don't want the media doing the same exact bullshit that they do with climate change and pretending that trying to scare me is the only way that I'm going to take the correct precautions. I'm not a fucking liberal baby who needs their hand held. I need people to provide practical answers and practical responses. It's not too much to ask but it's worse that people are pretending that we NEED these scare tactics in order for people to listen. If you have to lie and misrepresent the story to get people to follow then you are informing people wrong.
