Somethings I get, like Disney closing for the time being, but government forcing stores to close?It isn't the virus that's going to cause a dent on humanity, the economy will... Honestly, this is getting out of hand... people should be more level headed. |
It's the slow response, lack of screening at airports etc, that has gotten us into this mess. It was known since Januari. Shit happened in China, everyone just waited to see what would happen. Now Italy is closed down and Europe is following step, extreme measures are the only thing left.
What do you think the death toll is going to be when the health care system collapses, people are already rejected at hospitals in Italy. The economy can recover. Worst case scenario (Without these measures) is up to 70% of the population infected with up to 15% needing to be hospitalized. That's what all the fuss is about.
