Staggering how many people still think this isn’t a big deal.
literally every developed nation is currently tanking their economy to deal with this......you really think Trump and BoJo would tank an economy for shits and giggs? The information they have is scaring them shitless. That’s a decent reason to believe this is a big problem.
if you remove what we don’t know and look at what we do:
- the only countries that have reduced the numbers of cases have done so through full quarantine/lock down (pretty drastic measure). Nothing else has worked.
- there have (fact) been fatalities across all age ranges. Yes the vast majority are in older people with underlying health conditions but it’s naive to assume that everyone who isn’t high risk will be fine (there’s at least 2 under 40 year old men on ventilators at my wife’s hospital)
- the numbers of cases/deaths worldwide is still lower than many other flu’s/viruses YET the people in charge have reacted with much bigger measures than ever before. For me that shows they believe this is more serious that any previous flu/virus (this is every world leader, not some despot in one country, every developed nation)
