But too many here dismiss it as propaganda meant to scare us into staying home. They do not understand that shutting things down is the only thing that prevented catastrophe. The economic setbacks so far are a mere speed bump compared to what would have happened.
I think you're a shill trying to fracture the community but i'll indulge. I haven't seen anyone saying this is propaganda, the sentiment here, to me at least, is that our reaction has been completely out of proportion with the seriousness of the virus. We have never shut down the economy over anything like this before, there are pandemics every other year. Flu kills and hospitalizes far more every single year.
I dont see the virus being a made up threat at all
I agree - the virus is a very real threat.

You are making my case with that comment.
