Who cares if we all die?
We were all supposed to be dead because of Y2K. These 20 years were just a bonus anyway.

Look, if the media reported every death from the regular flu or every car accident death, a lot of sheep would panic as well.

This is just going to lead to bad laws because the panicked population just wants the politicians to “do something”

Fuk the fear mongers. Live your life. Stop worrying about things you have no control over.

Sports events being cancelled. You got more chance of dying on the way to the sporting event.

In true 21st century social media fashion, it’s become a race to see who can panic the most.

It’s a glorified flu at the end of the day.

Unless it killed hundreds of millions or billions of people. Then we can panic together.

Leading versus lagging indicators. Waiting for millions to die would be quite a lagging indicator. Not saying it's the end of the world, but I definitely don't want to see complete apathy regarding a potentially serious risk to the economy and the lives of our elders.

LOL at this "just live your life"/"this too shall pass" hippy bumpkin dumbfukkery.

There's a hospital system that people need access to in order to survive medical emergencies, and this disease royally screws with it. Taxpayers will end up footing the bill for your grandpa's three weeks on a ventilator if his small business has to shutter during a lockdown. Not caring about catching it and spreading it is the most narcissistic-autistic coontery since the Supreme Gentleman.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

This is correct. Speculating about ulterior motives, no matter how glaring they might be, is, literally, conspiracy theorizing.

The cdc and other medical leaders are telling us what to do. Just listen to them. They would know best.

They are not agreeing with all these fear mongers either

BREAKING: A D.C. priest has Coronavirus. He offered communion and shook hands with more than 500 worshippers last week and on February 24th. All worshippers who visited the Christ Church in Georgetown must self-quarantine. Church is cancelled for the first time since the 1800's

Unfortunately, I live in NY as well, so this is what I go through daily.

Of course it’s going to be at the forefront of fear and blame and outrage.

I’m living my life, you lock yourself in your house for 20 years. Your house has more dangers than this flu.

Dude, among other things, on Friday, Trump specifically declared that anyone who wants a test can now get one and that the CDC tests are perfect.

In reality, CDC is still struggling to deliver tests after the manufacturing issues, and we can't even keep up with testing the people we're quarantining.

The guy has started to approach Baghdad Bob levels. As I've said before, it's weak leadership to not just own that this is very bad, that there are ongoing problems, and that everybody needs to stay calm and pull in the same direction, instead of insisting that everything is going great, that any problems are "fake news", and that governors calling out federal failures are "snakes".
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

A point of clarification. I think I have been guilty of using the term "exponential" in the past regarding this outbreak. Exponential trends terminate in infinity. There will obviously NOT be infinite deaths. This is logistic growth, not exponential. Similar, but subtly different.

Not the same. Cancer is much worse. And has killed scores of people young and young, old and in between.

Not potential, but real. Bird flu was the worst ever, then Ebola, then sars. This is another boy that cried wolf moment.

You're not getting it.

Cancer doesn't just suddenly explode and overwhelm a health system. You can expect a certain number of cancer cases per year and allocate the appropriate resources to handle it.

COVID-19 has more or less come out of left-field and has the potential to strain and overwhelm our health system.

Naw brah, just live your life.

Don't let corporate media bring you down, man.

Don't listen to the fuzz when they serve you with a quarantine order, man.

Take that Mediterranean cruise you've always dreamed about, and rawdog hookers with deep wheezing coughs in every port. Then have a long layover at JFK after flying back out of Milan and close-talk with lots of old people who seem lonely.

Live your life.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

Again, I’ve heard this before. Bird flu, Ebola, etc. Those things had potential. But ended up not destroying humanity.

Now after decades of overblown fear mongering, I’m supposed to believe that this is different?

China DID something different. They tanked their own economy, voluntarily, to stop the spread this time. I have never seen that done before. It seems different.

This isn't about "potential". It's actually happening. You realize that, right? Multiple major world cities have been crippled.

Yes. Crippled by fear. New York of course wants to be the leader in fear. I bet we go on lockdown soon to.

This is the same city that closes public transportation over a cm of snow.

If you report every car accident or every case of the flu, the same panic would ensue. People need to realize that this is not the catastrophe it is being made out to be.

Panic and euphoria have taken over, all reason is gone.

No, I mean crippled by overwhelmed hospitals which are unable to accept non-coronavirus patients because they're running out of equipment and personnel or unable to manage contamination. Italy is pulling medical professionals out of retirement and graduating classes of nurses early to press them into service immediately. The British NHS is already preparing to convert unused operating theaters into respiratory wards. They lost significant numbers of doctors and nurses to quarantines as well as the infection itself. Kirkland, WA ended up with 25% of its firefighters quarantined just from mishandling the nursing home.

You're out to lunch on what's happening and why these lockdowns are taking place.
Nah, fukk that. I’m not doing that.

You left the part about people hoarding equipment out of fear as well. Or hoarding masks and supplies.

All this proves is that socialized medicine doesn’t work. And that anti gouging laws are counter productive.

Even the New York times said that claim was basically true, if a doctor asks for a test he can get one.

If they dont work why even use them

Again, people like this trying to justify panic.

Its stupid. Worst case scenario just listen to the direction of cdc and other people that know what they are talking about.

Why are you people trying to make this into the end of the world. It's not, we just need to follow the steps we're asked to

The same people telling me that the virus is the end of us are the same people using the virus for political gains.

At times like these politicians are all useless. Doesn’t matter who they are. They actually make matters worse.

Bad laws always follow the mass panic.
