Facts. People will not learn until hit hits the people they care about, full stop. Even the President didn't take it seriously, and now look what's happening. These people should go tell the families of those who died from the virus that it's "just a flu" or "it's not that bad". Absolute foolishness.
It really says a lot about Western culture that we even have to be having this conversation right now. China had problems, Italy had problems, Iran had problems, Japan, South Korea, Philippines... They all had problems. But here in North America, people are like "Man, that shyt is a hoax.
" while people are in ICU beds coughing (
) up a lung. It takes a certain level of hardheadedness to see other people suffering from something, and then going "That shyt won't happen to me though. 
" People are not as healthy as they think they are, and who even wants to catch a flu normally anyway? So when they say they're low-risk... I wonder about that.
The healthcare system can't handle everyone, businesses can't afford to be shut down for so long, landlords need their money to pay for real estate, and the people need jobs in order to pay for their rent, food and other Quality of Life things they need. Never mind the medical bills that are bound to hit people once this whole thing is over. Society is going to forever change, because it's going to force everyone to see just how fragile our way of life is when a highly-contagious virus infects the population. Employers for one are DEFINITELY taking note of this, and I wouldn't be surprised if after this, we start seeing the rise of technology taking over. Can't lose revenue and workforce if all of your work force is mechanical.
As well, people aren't taking the mental health aspect into this either. There's going to be a lot of people that are going to be affected by this, and so many people's mental health will plummet if people have to isolate and live in a world of caution and fear for too long. That's horrific for a society to deal with, never mind the fact that it's in human nature to be around other human beings and mingle. Look at how many brehs on here do things "for the hoes", most of TLR threads can be tied back to wanting to be around the opposite sex. Stress is the number one killer, and most people were already stressed to begin with, now you gotta toss on a pandemic and isolation on top of that. And with the avenues of escapes now being limited to what you have access to in your own home... How well do you think people will fare in the long-term? Probably not well.
I don't think the world is going to end either, but it's better to be an alarmist than be completely unprepared and getting blitzed when things get real. I believe we can beat this thing, but we have to do what we can right now. People need to stay home. Hospitals need all the resources they can access. And we as a society can't get to a place of treating the vulnerable like they're the annoying nikka on Survivor -- letting them die because "Survival of The Fittest". Hell no. Once people as a whole start thinking like that, the world is done, it'll cannibalize itself. As long as people stay home and chill as best they can so we don't have to be isolated for 3-4 months or so, the sooner we can get over this thing.

Good, now he better fix the problem.I posted this earlier but will post again
I spoke to a nurse from rouge valley centenary on Friday and she told me June -July at the earliest.
I work in an Amazon warehouse. I am 100% sure on the capacity information. I had a long chat with a night time shift manager last night. I did 6 interviews yesterday.
Also I am 100% sure that Amazon is considering essential at this point.
As far as the state shut down. I only heard it as hearsay but I am confident that it will come to pass. It is the direction the whole country seems to be moving in. I have heard that you will need a certain pass and certificate to move around and that they have already started to issuing them. Again I can't say with 100% accuracy that it's true but it is highly likely.
Again if you need work you will be hired. People are needed.
