Coronavirus is most certainly not a meme, and is in fact a really bad thing. It is not apocalypse, though precisely because we managed to contain it and told everyone to stfu at home. If literally just double of the people who are sick now would have gotten sick, the hospital systems would be overloaded to hell and back, and then EVERY new patient from ANY disease just fukken dies
Your ""chinas"" and other countries with strong societal norms could be just told "maintain physical distance", and they're fine. Plus their hospital systems are plenty because these Big State systems always stock up on disaster stuff. That's like their thing
Here in the West? You fucks would start giving each other RIMJOBS to spite the government if they told you not to. Nobody listens, so the stay at home orders are necessary to at least somewhat contain it.
If you didn't need a doctor or medical help lately -- congrats. Turns out there are a lot that do, on the regular as well.
It will get real bad now if they won't know how to go back from these regimes to regular life, though. Whichever way you slice it, it fucking sucks now.
