    You do realize, that in the next 1-2 years, most of us will become infected.
    It's not a matter of "IF" but "WHEN" and hopefully it will be at a time when hospitals aren't slammed, so we can get treatment if needed.

    Because they see Trump as 'one of them' ever since since his "good people" statement after Charlottesville.

    Ofcourse they would be doing the same even without Trump but he has certainly embolden them during his Presidency.

    It was about the medication, the reporter wanted clarification from the doctor and trump cut in and wouldn't let Fauci answer.

    People die in traffic too, you don't find many people being terrified of driving in cars.
    People die from smoking, drugs, alcohol etc... yet many still shovel the crap into their bodies.

    If it were Ebola, I could understand the fear, but SARS-CoV-2 has such a low mortality rate that it seems to be a bit hyperbolic to panic.

    So do you think we shouldn’t be quarantining entire counties and forcing people to stay home ?

    Then you aren't fucking thinking.

    Ebola is difficult to spread and so will always have a relatively low infection rate because it can be easily contained

    Covid19 CANNOT easily be contained and it spreads extremely quick and it has a death rate 20x that of the flu.

    The death rate of the Spanish flu was also about 2% do you think people were just going overboard in 1918? I mean only 50 million people died right?

    My god, why do people not think before they speak?

    And we take measures to lower those deaths as much as possible don't we?

    In 1 to 2 years we will almost definitely have a vaccine and working, verified, standardize treatment.

    Now, we don’t, and hospitals are flooded in hotspots. This affects not just COVID patients, but others as well. When the hospital is full of COVID patients, your pneumonia isn’t going to be treated as efficiently.

    In the meantime, slowing the spread of this disease that you admit is probably inevitable until we can handle it should be our top priority.

    Hence lowering the curve.

    I cant understand people who say that in the end most of us will become infected. No, that will not happen. Not even in the worst pandemics that ravaged humanity the majority was infected.

    Or it should be better to say, that should not happen if we (as humannity) takes this seriously.

    Depends on the country, the black death hit some countries really, really hard. It might have killed between 50% and 75% of the population in italy[numbers are very hard to confirm for periods this long ago]


    But with modern technology, that should not happen if the government even has half a brain.

    In 1 to 2 years what type of world do you expect to return to? The world won't even make it to the summer with the way things are. Either peoples mental health is going to collapse or people are going to start rebelling. On top of that where do people think all this free money to keep them at home is coming from? Nothing is ever really free and people are willing to sacrifice life later for a few months now. We need to get back to life and triage this as best we can. All these countries that are in lockdown now will be infected again within 2 months of shutting it down starting the cycle all over again. When people get this through their heads that we are descending into a lot worse place than losing 4% of the population in the world then people will be able to come to grips with the fact that when we come out of this everything is going to change. I hope people don't think this quarantine can be sustained through much more than mid May without serious repercussions to all that survive. We may save 2% of the people who would have died but at what cost to the other 96% that will suffer much more for years to come.
