Again, bullshit. 99% of the public has nothing to do with anything unless they're lead by the nose.
I guess I’m out of step with the general consensus but I feel like people all over the world are greatly underestimating this because they’re thinking in terms of weeks instead of years. We know it’s contagious but we still take chances. I get it. That’s just life. I’ll be called a kook, an alarmist, hysteric but I think our individualistic me first culture has already made it impossible to contain. We also don’t know how bad it is (or isn’t). Mortality rates for the first wave of symptoms with a virus we don’t understand doesn’t mean symptoms aren’t going to reappear again and again or have long term degenerative neurological effects.
It seems to me just staying away from others for a couple years is a small sacrifice to see what we’re dealing with first but instead people act like a few weeks is an incredible burden.
