Well, many of us are in the same boat. It indeed sucks.

But to downplay this as just some media-driven overreaction to a cold is either intentionally dense or wildly naive.

I could post links from numerous respected medical associations and hospitals. I could post CDC, WHO, NIH, etc. recommendations that are totally uninfluenced by the mainstream media. I could post quotes from doctors actually on the front lines (a few dying) who are running out of equipment and are legitimately worried about an impending spike in cases.

But none of it matters. Because some people just don't want to believe it. They are frustrated with their hopefully short-term economic pain and simply can't see anything else.

ETA Spare me your own personal interpretation of the statistics as if none of these people or respected organizations and institutions could possibly be having the same thoughts you are and still feel that social distancing is necessary.
