The problem with listening to the experts is, which expert you gonna listen too?
The Epidemiologist that came up with the 2.2 million dead in US figures and the 500k in UK now sayks after ONE day of quarantine in the UK 20,000 deaths are expected? The New York Times and a lot of others used his first prediction, because it sounded way worse. Another "expert" Dr. Gupta from Oxford says fewer than 1-1000 who've BEEN infected even become sick enough too need medical care with the VAST majority having MILD too NO symptoms.
You have the NewYork governor and Mayor crying apocalypse and people talking about "DNR" do not resuscitate policy's in hospitals. Guess what that ain't happening and NewYork hasn't ran out of ventilators.
Then people say but Trump says! I doubt Trump is anymore worried about all this than I am, but he knows the weak minded sheep HAVE to be pacified to get re-elected, have too.
The reason for all the Governors crying is because they got a whiff of all the government money that will be handed out to the worst effected states. You can bet the farm the La Governor wants to paint the worst case possible in the chance La will get some extra money, that will eventually end up in his pocket. He has personally tried to whip this thing into a frenzy lying about infection rates that he now says were "predictions" when he first stated them as fact?
Here's a fact not a single person is hospitalized or tested positive for the China flu in my Parish. Large parts of the US are also unaffected. Trump is ready to open up the US as soon as possible and the doom croakers and lazy people will get their free Gov check and go back to their jobs.
Places like NewYork and New Orleans will probably be in bad shape for awhile but both places are septic tanks of the world and are never without some kind of crisis. Because you can't have that many sheep penned up in one spot ,Nature is constantly trying to thin them out. If it's not this virus it would be AIDs or Hurricanes or gang shootings or whatever.
I think some people are only happy when they have some crisis to whine about or rally behind, watch and see when this is over they will have a new crisis in a week.
