Just (mostly)young and reckless people.
Worst thing that happened is that they heard that the deaths are affecting the elderly. That emboldened them even more.

South Korea was able to contain it without resorting to extreme measures like China. The difference is unlike us they actually had enough testing kits, were well prepared and their citizens actually took it seriously and gave a fukk about each other

For the US, it’s a mix of an unprepared government, narcissistic millennials and Gen Zers who don’t want their lives inconvenienced and don’t give a fukk about passing it on to vulnerable people and putting a strain on the healthcare system, and Trump supporters who are still in denial about how serious this is because they’re convinced that warnings from actual scientists and experts are nothing but fake news and media hype.

I hope we can contain this thing, but considering everything I just mentioned, I doubt it. All you can do is try to keep your loved ones as safe and informed as possible.


All of the bold..

ALL OF IT.

Yep like I said, we're doing not enough to get ahead of this issue. We should have the national guard out helping quarantine, spray and monitor people's movements.

It's everybody tbh.

Like I said, older people refusing to miss church, younger people refusing to skip out on social events, gymbrehs refusing to give up the weights.

There's no single group we can point to n be like, "they're doing what needs to be done".

Everybody's dropping the ball.

The only one's who we can't call eff ups are the literal children.

Everyone else has absolutely no excuse.

A overhype exaggerated thinking process causes people to live their lives in fear. Hey the Virus should be taken with precautions but some of you want to stop life itself and you mofos don't even have it.

That's the entire point.

If everyone just shuts down the movement, those who have it, will run the course of the virus and the panic will end.

Pretend that covid19 is something that can cause some to ignite into flames, while others don't have any discernible effect.

The first thing you would do is cease all movement, cuz you never know who will and who won't catch fire if infected.

Then you wait for those who have the benign reaction to sweat it out, while those who burn are seen to.

You're advocating not stopping, which means more will burn by default.

Nobody said stop life..

If your job is open, go..

Stop by the store, grab some shyt and go..

Once you get off work, go home and chill..

You pay for the house you live in, enjoy it fully for a couple weeks..

I seen a nasty CAC still fcking coughing with his mouth open while shopping..

We have no clue how this is spreading, or even the clusters where the infected people are.

Whats wrong with seeing how this shyt plays out in AMERICA, after a couple weeks?

They can't even tell you the difference between the common cold, flu and this virus. They are already talking about "People who have it, have no symptoms". Hell Allergy season has begun and you are going to confuse that shyt with the Virus.

Paranoia is a hell of a drug.

Like I said earlier in the thread...old/sick people just need to sit down for awhile and do nothing...
...everyone else should go about their business.

its impossible to stop all movement.
if the U.S. stopped, were talking MASSIVE layoffs coming...
...people out in the streets...
...it creates a whole new set of problems that none of us are prepared for.

Youre already seeing it in cities that depend on tourism...like Vegas.
I know people there...and they are essentially out of work now...
...will they be able to recover in the coming months?

Just think of all the jobs/businesses that depend on large groups of people...its a wrap for anyone that isnt rich (most small business owners are barely making it as is).

People love telling other people what they should do. But, when it comes down to personal sacrifices and accountability, every person has an excuse and justification.

This is true. I actually had to check myself. I was telling my fiancée’s mother who’s in her 70s and diabetic to not go to a big church conference she was planning on going to and to avoid large crowds in general. After I finished talking to her I was planning on going to the gym but realized how hypocritical it was to tell someone to take precautions and then turn around and go to the gym of all places. So I’m gonna stick to home workouts for now
