The OT forgets there was a 2 month thread about people dying on the streets in Wuhan. There was legit fear in January, February and March about what we were facing. Then we saw Italy get devastated and once we saw New York was in chaos, fear of what this could become was high. We didn’t know what we were dealing with.

So dare I say it.....similar to the flu?
No. I believe the flu fatality rate is about 0.1%, so this would be 2.6 times as bad, even if you neglected the fact that it’s far more contagious due to there being no immunity.

We must conserve PPE
We must start requiring masks in public

From day one, even an idiot like me could see that a lockdown wasn’t necessary. That all you had to do was protect the vulnerable by social distancing from them as much as reasonable while washing hands more and having people actually stay home when sick. That’s all that was necessary even based on the early data. The only “overrun” area was northern Italy which was due to a multitude of factors that don’t exist anywhere else. Many Chinese nationalists returning home from the new year... more than anywhere else, a very dense older population... older than anywhere else, and a system that was in no way prepared to care for any spike in icu needs... one of the lowest per capita in the world. But that’s not what people react to. All they see is mobile triage being full and ignore what’s really going on and why it’s happening there.

This is where people decide to forget that the concern was about the spread and infection rate overwhelming hospitals and increasing the mortality rate beyond what it normally would be.
Even if we assume that this was ever the concern, what is the concern RIGHT NOW?

Had we just let it rip, hospitals would have been overwhelmed, and patients that would have been saved under normal circumstances would have died for lack of vents.

Wait, so its similar to the flu, like I’ve said since March??!!

Hindsight is a wonderful tool used to justify your stance in a argument isn’t it?

Hindsight is a powerful drug. This will end up being less serious than originally thought, but at the time decisions were being made the reality was pretty ugly. And our slow reaction in testing contributed to those decisions.

Take steps to protect the elderly. As far as the rest of us, there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to go about things as usual taking steps we would normally take if we caught a virus. Stay home and chill till it’s over. Wash hands. Etc. that alone keeps this thing from killing hundreds of thousands which is apparently what every panicked bitch seems to think.

How much of a rounding factor are we putting into this?
I think you should just let that go and realize you don’t have to prove it’s the flu to justify any of your beliefs.
Like I’ve said multiple times, It can be worse than the flu and everything we did was way overboard.

If you actually get sick, you shouldn’t be going to work or visiting old people. That doesn’t mean you close every hair salon for 3 months.
