Continue to be scared of the boogeymanI think these kinds of tweets are a swing and a miss. The problems missing are
1. You can be contagious for days and weeks and not know it
2. During those days or weeks your around your brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents or even other peoples family members.
You and anyone not quarantining will guarantee this last 6 months+ while b**tching about the next government overreach and wonder why.
I have talked to several friends this evening in various occupations, and the financial implications of our reaction to this are about to get real. Like, really real.
Again, I don't really know what to believe. Italy is a mess. I've heard from docs in Cali that it's bad there, too. Then, you read the analysis provided earlier, and you step back. I wish we had more conclusive evidence as to where the infection will actually go. I keep going back to China and wondering how the heck it affected such a tiny percentage of their population, yet we are bracing for a catastrophe.
Totally different situation, though.
They took extradinary measures like barricading people in their homes....things that wouldn't happen here....one equalizer might be that we are fighting it in a different season...it's already in the 80s and humid on the coast hopefully the rest of the country warms up soon and this virus reacts the same way as others...some early evidence..although small... supports that thinkingI think part of the reason it didn't affect a huge portion of China's population is because of the measures they took to suppress it. I feel like that is the trick in how much it spreads. Perhaps it could be catastrophic in terms of infections and deaths if we don't do enough, but it could be equally catastrophic to the economy. Just a really tough situation that we don't have enough info on to know anything for sure.
