This all seems to be simmering down, was it overhyped?

From the UK, it doesn't seem as urgent and the effect of panic has worn off. Is it all simmering down or was it just not as much of a crisis as people originally thought?

Could end up being Italy 2.0

I think it's not as bad as they're making it out to be

It's way too early to speculate, we are only 6 weeks into this.

Italy isn't that bad though is it. Population of 60m+, 4000 dead. Like its not great, but its not horrendous.

The way the doctors at the highest levels are explaining it, each individual geographic area infected with the virus has a 6 to 8 week curve. China and South Korea had their own curves. Italy is in the midst of its curve. We are less than two weeks into ours.

OP, if it’s simmering down, it’s because our efforts have been working.

The virus was overhyped. But I agreed with the efforts to combat it. We needed to be proactive in preventing the ordeal from becoming a big problem. What I f'ing despised was the fear mongering and panicking from the betas and cucks.

Most of the US isn't even affected. NY is affected because it's a wretched hive of scum and villainy and people crowded ontop of each other to a disgusting degree.

Basically NYC has a Wu Flu epidemic and the rest of the country is wondering what the big deal is...

Thousands confirmed in Australia, something like 8 dead lol (all of them old), low rates in hospital, the true mortality rate is most certainly well under 1%

This has really exposed The Matrix. People are so dependent on the system, that unplugging them would simply kill them because they are so dependent on the system. They regurgitate everything the media tells them, and believe them all without question. These people are beyond hope.

Of course it's overhyped. If it were actually serious it would have decimated 1000-person/m2 China by now. And the Italian numbers are fluff. Only 12% of the deaths reported are actually directly caused by corona.

Lmao @ overblown. Just wait for phase 2, after the initial symptoms die down, and those who died from it get back up.

That is when the real **** will begin.

Well it looks like the most prestigious among us have reached a consensus.

The panty sniffer and the 2012 conspiracy theorist agree it’s all a hoax.

People are going out and about. Exercising, jogging, biking.

Was at the grocery store and this older woman (50+) was rubbing my back when she tried to move past me.

People aren't scared of this bull**** anymore.

2000 people die in Italyevery dayEven if their alleged figures are correct (which they aren’t), 4000 in 3 months is tiny.

30,000 cases, 23 in serious or critical condition, 157 deaths:

JFL. But carry on giving away all your rights and freedoms because of "exponential growth" and "but there's a 0.01% chance that the virus could mutate into the bubonic plague". Surely the multi-billionaire bankers and capitalists and their political puppets care about you and your safety above all else.

Where have you seen that?

I’ve read that Italy is super generous in labeling something as a cause of death. For example if you show up with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and on deaths door but catch Covid you’re listed as a covid death
