And that moron spiked himself like a fkn volleyball into the desert a few weeks ago.There's LOTS of people who believe the world is flat,
(...) The data is there. If people are ignorant enough to ignore it, they will probably get the virus anyway just like everyone else. There’s really no stopping this from unfolding. We’re on a runaway train. It’s up to you whether or not you want to prepare for impact. Nature’s a bitch. Buckle up!
Check out what happened during the spanish flu in Philadelphia vs. St. Louis.
England & Germany chose a different path.There is no stopping, that's correct; the virus will walk right through the entire population of the world within the next 1 or 2 years. But we can slow it down.
There is no stopping, that's correct; the virus will walk right through the entire population of the world within the next 1 or 2 years. But we can slow it down. If 70% of the world population will show symptoms, 20% of that severe ones, it does make a world of difference whether that happens within 3 months or within 2 years.

And it's not just up to you whether you want to brace yourself for the impact but rather to do the responsible thing and make sure you protect others in particular the elderly immunosuppressed.

Foolish because their healthcare systems will get overloaded and many more will die due to inability to receive treatment.England & Germany chose a different path.

A nurse I know who works at the Stanford hospital ED is convinced it won’t be worse than the H1N1 and is taking it to Facebook to let everyone know. “We didn’t freak out then, why this time? Lots of us are rolling our eyes behind the scene,” etc. So all kinds of people think all kinds of things...
I confirm Smilzo is right, that news is about Lombardy, the region with the vast majority of infections, the "Italian Hubei".I wish it were fake news. From worldometers.info:
Italy's health system is overwhelmed:
- "We're close to the point of no return for intensive care beds in Lombardy. We have 15 to 20 intensive care beds left. With 85 new people entering ICU every day and 2 or 3 leaving, we're close to the point of no return. "There are no more ambulances" - Lombardy Welfare Councilor Gallera added - "and therefore someone will have to wait late in the evening." [source] 732 patients are currently treated in intensive care in Lombardy, and 76 new deaths were reported in the region today [source]
- In Bergamo, "deaths have quintupled from a week ago. There is a burial every half hour" said Councilor for Cemetery Services Giacomo Angeloni. "There are many elderly people at home with breathing difficulties. They are not hospitalized because the hospitals are full" said the mayor of Alzano Lombardo Carmelo Bertocchi [source]
A person I know posted this on FB. They think it is happening but that it's a gov't conspiracy for control of the public.

Something is always someone else’s problem right?Conspiracy theories are becoming a major problem in our culture (along with a general shift to "meme based belief systems" for large swaths of population)
I've found that most people I know who believe in conspiracies have minimal control in their own lives, so they wish to believe it's because of some secretive master plan by evil henchmen and tricksters - "the man" or "the deep state". I sometimes will engage and spend time to systematically debunk points, but its exhausting, as conspiracy believers usually have no interest in actually debating facts or evaluating logic... they usually have no "skin in the game".. they haven't actually researched anything.. they just re-post other peoples BS or offer up vague rhetoric.... and then my favorite is when they end their post with something like "wake up sheeple!"
I have a friend, who a week ago was posting social media messages about how "Covid-19 is NOT real and its only engineered by mainstream media to hurt Trump"... yesterday, he jumped ship to the above conspiracy: "Covid-19 IS real, but it was engineered by some shadowy global deep state bio-weapons labs to take away our freedoms" He didn't even blink an eye with the 180 degree shift on whether Covid-19 is real.
