Dammit RiV, stop making sense. This is twice this week we have agreed... What are ppl gonna think?
Well, I don't agree with either of you.
I know that the AMA is far left leaning, but I'm going to repeat that the people I am citing are physicians and nurses and health care executives who are friends and acquaintances who are very conservative people who are taking this seriously.
There is no panic in my soul. I am not defending panic. But I AM accepting wisdom from people who know.
This is NOT just "the flu."
And it's pretty obvious that if people don't gather in large groups the spread of the virus will SLOW.
THAT is the goal. Not to make it go away, but to slow it so that medical resources are available for everyone who NEEDS them.
This is what did NOT happen in Italy and because of measures taken will most likely be true in America.
Now....... would it be possible for this thread to be actually about updates on COVID-19 not mockery.
(And no, RIV, I am not personally offended by the mockers. I just want this thread to be about information and not stupid gifs of lemmings...... which NONE of us is).
