I Sometimes Wonder What the Hell Is Wrong With People

I'm a little sad and concerned abt this dang coronavirus. I'm not worried abt getting it myself. I'm concerned abt all the things shutting down in fear of it. When businesses close people won't be able to work. No money will be circulating around keeping the economy up. Corona is not as dangerous as they are so terrified of. It just seems so ridiculous to shut everything down.

We have to. You have to shut things down BEFORE everyone has the virus, not after. If you do it after, it's too late.

Even if nobody dies, we don't have enough hospital beds. Our economy can't handle so many people being sick home from work.

If we shut things down, we slow the spread, and our hospitals don't get overwhelmed. People will get sick, but not so many at once. That's the reason.
