This is the most idiotic overreaction to anything I have ever seen (long)

Yes I understand why things are being done. To “flatten the curve”. To avoid overwhelming our healthcare system.

However, by shutting down sports, cancelling class, meetings, gatherings, etc, you will still overwhelm the healthcare system.

Now at the first sign of a cough and a runny nose the average idiot american will run to a hospital to get tested. For what exactly? So they can tell that you are positive and you need to stay home, drink fluids, and take otc meds? A virus has to run its course. You should be doing those things if you are sick anyway. And now the people who really need medical care won’t get it because of the panic canceling these things will cause.

What about controlling the spread of the disease? Give me a a fricking break. You think people are going to sit inside for the next three weeks because there are no sports or concerts? Unless you sit everyone in a fricking cleanroom, its going to spread. Think about all the nasty mofo’s eating at Ryans, Golden Corral, chinese buffets all touching the same spoon and then all the people they will come into contact with over the course of a day.

Hooray for no March Madness.
