Instead of the WE ARE GOING TO DIE fearmongering, I would have like to see a rational discussion about reducing demand on our medical resources.
I, for one, am not going to pointing fingers and playing the blame-game wrt how well prepared people were. (Howedver, I will piss on those scum that hoarded essential supplies, may they rot in Hell... yes, very unchristian of me).
We have finite medical resources, we needed to avoid the high demand. We could have avoided some of the demand if people weren't panicked. We could have avoided some of the panicked with rational discussion of the severity of illness. Some people willl be infected and show zero symptoms, some people will be infected and show mild symptoms, some people will be infected and show serious symptoms, some people will be infected and get so sick that they require hospitalization, and, sadly, some people will die.
Instead of rational discussion, we get WE ARE GOING TO DIE fearmongering.
The reality is that a large portion of our population is going to get infected... (kind of like the seasonal flu). Social distancing will only delay the spread, not eliminate it. The number of people that will die depends on our ability to handle the surge of serious cases (kind of like the seasonal flu).
Instead of rational discussion, we get WE ARE GOING TO DIE fearmongering.
