Every country is shutting down. Not only the US. The problem, as experienced in Italy, is that there aren't enough intensive care beds and ventilators to keep every patient alive. This is a curable disease, WHEN you have enough resources. Imagine a hospital can take care of ten people per day and get them back to good health. Now imagine that same hospital has to deal with 100 patients per day. In Italy they literally decide not to ventilate (AND SAVE!) people over 60 who are in bad shape because there's not enough ventilators. This is in Lombardia, one of the richest and most prosperous areas of Italy and Europe, not exactly a shithole.
Perhaps a more sensible approach would be to quarantine the elderly and let everyone else gain group immunity by eventually contracting the disease. At least they wouldn't completely fuck up the global economy.
I bet it’s a meme edit and the original sign is some euro commie crap.
