It puts a lot of stress on providers and first responders also

Again ; it's ""just the flu"".

The problem is, with how contagious, intense, and long-lived it is, ***EVERYONE*** having **just the flu** at the *same. time.* is gonna put unneeded stress on an already outdated and undeprepared system.

It's not just the flu, it's 10-20 times more fatal in normal circumstances and is more contagious than standard influenza. Knowing that, it has even more of the potential to completely cripple our health care system.

You're right - sorry

It’s a shit show in the streets,

We have bullshit kits they protect no one from the virus, if your exposed it’s 14 days away from family and friends.

If you die it’s permanent

And you gotta hope the shift before you cleaned the truck the right way

World of shit

reminds me of the "just a flu" graffiti in left 4 dead 2

10-20% hospitalisation rate

and a very small number of hospital beds almost everywhere

And all that is ignoring the possibility of a 2nd wave

Yeah

It's going to be all good until people lose jobs and run out of sick leave

The Spanish Flu of 1918 was mostly harmless for the first 6 months but then it mutated and went sicko mode

We don't know shit

Everybody needs to stop living in the moment and consider the long term effects of it along with the possibility of it getting a lot worse

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to possibly make some basic shit myself

I'm never paranoid over this shit. I have been following it since day 1. This isn't some H1N1 horseshit it's the real deal. Prepare and defend.

Yep. Been telling my friends but we're all uni students and poor as fuck so just have to hope things go well

I don't know how it is down under but where I am it's the epicenter in the states

Our governor has essentially shut down the entire state

Similar for me, Sydney isn't getting it good

*Oh not actual shutdowns yet, we're pretty behind

No leadership

So all the bootlickers are getting nervous

All bars and restaurants in my state got shut down

No meetings over 50

National guard got mobilized

Fuck

This is only the beginning

No church study, no schools, no nothing

Going to be reaching its peak in a few months as well, we're nowhere near there

In those extant countries you're likely right

They are doing no testing here

It's like "Yeah nobody has the virus because nobody has been tested confirmed for the virus"

Unbelievable

My mates are talking about how there's a 'bad cold' going around but nobody knows if its real deal because apparently young guys show little symptoms for 'rona

So my bro and I are in our rooms with cough n shit

The people in my university have been coughing and had a fever for weeks
