Idiots like you will not take this seriously. Then they won't be able to breathe. And then all of their bluster and chest puffing will mean nothing as they beg - BEG - for the health care system to save them from this thing that is "no big deal."
And they'll lie there, gasping for air as no one has time to save them. As they wonder how - in the richest country on the planet - someone with health insurance can die in a hospital hallway surrounded by other scared people who a week before had no clue they'd be fighting for their last breaths, some other idiot will post it's no worse than the flu. That car accidents kill more people. And then, all alone, surrounded by misery, they'll die. For nothing. Oh, the humanity indeed. |

The problem is that social media got ahold of it, people got scared and everything went completely batshit. Again - the curve REQUIRES spread. That's always been the case. Anyone that actually bothered to learn anything about their silly little meme they were posting would've understood that. It was fundamental to the entire concept. Again I look at Boone county and see that they're nowhere near capacity with no meaningful spread and think that ultimately we're not accomplishing anything. We're just delaying the inevitable until we get to a point where everyone's just done with the whole damn thing. How are we moving towards a finish line right now? And like I said 2 weeks ago, it sure as hell looked like mission creep was going to take over and suddenly everyone would be calling for measures to simply stop the spread outright. Measures that would be quixotic and ultimately counterproductive. And hey, here we are. We have Virginia's governor shutting shit down through July now. Why? Because nobody's going to say "hey wait a minute - we're hearing this has a week long incubation period and maybe a 3 week lifecycle...care to explain why 70 !@#$ing days is going to be the fix here?" Nobody's looking for a solution, they're just looking to grip harder. And sooner or later they're going to lose buy-in. Everyone's going to throw up their hands and you'll get that same damn spike. |

Also notice how those lists of things that kill more americans suspiciously don't mention gun deaths.
That shit has a political agenda and is ****ing nonsense. |

You can't buy time for a vaccine. They're saying 18 months, the average vaccine takes about 5 years so i wouldn't hold my breath on that one. So in the end, yeah, you needed either a better plan or be better at relaying what the actual plan was. |

Want to boost the economy or fill all the potholes? We should do something else with the billions invested in cancer research, since people die from heart disease and car accidents. Granted, there's no risk of all of those categories combined all of a sudden filling up hospital beds to the point of choosing who lives and who dies while completely overwhelming healthcare workers.... which I'm sure would be great for the economy.
