I’m a bit on both sides. It’s probably quite likely that it’s not as serious as some news makes it out to be. But I also fully believe that a lot of people aren’t taking it as seriously as they should.
I don’t think it’s simply a problem with the virus, it’s that pretty much every healthcare system worldwide doesn’t have the capacity to treat the sheer number of people that can get infected in such a short space of time. Resulting in needless deaths.
As per the reply above, they don’t want you to go to the ER because, say 15 people had a cough, all went to the ER thinking they had the virus, only one did. That one could then infect the other 14. Those 14 could then infect another 14 each when they came back. That’s almost 200 people infected by 2 trips to the ER. When the 200 come back there’s 2400 infected. The hospitals and healthcare systems can’t deal with the exponential growth. Which is why we need to stay at home.
Thanks for a voice of reason. I'm also split on my opinion. While this is deadly serious, we may be overreacting and causing unintended hardship at the same time. Regarding censorship of the OP's type of nonsense., I'm totally against that. Big tech already has too much say in what we see and hear. Too many on all sides that want to shut the other person's point of view down.
