re: I sense the divide is growing

I wasn’t responding to you, so calm down, Gus

Are you guys going to clutch your pearls in a week or two if this thing doesn’t take off like Italy?

Being on the medical side of things, and I know the aggressiveness of the virus, I fall on the proper precautions side.
One way to slow it down.
There’s isn’t an overreaction when 4,000 people have died from something.
It’s easy to know that if these measures weren’t taken the numbers would be really high.
So anyone saying it’s an overreaction, well it really doesn’t matter what they say. Let them bitch and complain while we beat this pandemic.

The report that world governments are leaning on greatly was released this morning.

With no precautions taken, we lose 4,000,000 people in the US.

With inadequate precautions taken, or precautions cut off prematurely, the number drops to 2,000,000 dead.

With complete isolation for the next 2 months, all businesses closed except for grocery stores, curfews, etc., we only lose a few thousand. BUT, this will have to be repeated every 3 months until we have a vaccine.


People look at the numbers now, or overseas, and are just like "meh, a few thousand olds". People aren't appreciating just how far behind we were when this hit our shores and the spread that was occurring before we started testing. It's going to be roughly 45 days before we hit the apex of current impacts. Numbers will exponentially increase over that time.

There's a reason why Trump, Fox, and the GOP have suddenly changed their tune....and a lot of it has to do with the report that was released this morning publicly which they've had access to for a few days.

People get sick and die sometimes

That’s how life works

Just wait until college football gets cancelled well before the season.

A lot more of you will be joining us on team overreaction.

Only libtards think people are gonna die

I’ve seen more people die at my feet while putting my life on the line than you could count. I’ve also saved people without a pulse, babies, elderly etc. So take it however you want, but I I can die being fulfilled whether you like my comment between saving lives or people being out work for a few weeks. Seriously, why do you exist?

Do you think that maybe your job and experiences skews your view of things? Do you think that people who deal with poverty regularly and all the problems that creates might view things differently?

Thank you for what you do, but there is a difference between how far a person should go to save a life, and how far society should go. You would likely work until you die of exhaustion if there is still a chance you could save a life, and I would do the same. But at a higher level, there must be limits on how we allocate resources to fight a problem. We have to ask what harm we are causing.
