A co-worker the other day told me that it's a big beat up and it's no worse than a mild flu. I pulled him over to my desk and showed him the infection data, the death rate, details from medical experts and epidemiologists saying that it's a lot worse than a seasonal flu.

He said, "shit. Could be bad then"

5 minutes later I hear him saying to another colleague, "seriously man. It's such a beat up. This is just another flu"

People don't understand until it impacts them.
Employee who got Corona was the same. Went to Italy when all the shit was going down with the same attitude. It's nothing. Just the flu.

Been in quaratine for the last 10 days or so and his attitude has completely changed. Realises now how fucked up he was by going there, and is telling anyone and everyone the need to be careful. You're right. People don't understand until it impacts them. But it shouldn't be like that ...

Every ones knows China is full of shit the only thing we know about them is they were strict with lockdown Italy another record 793 dead in a day, American 1 dying every hour China's lying about figures ,Iran spins Moore bullshit than Phil rothfieild 3rd world countries have little to no testing
Who the fuck know how much full of shit other middle East countries are so the actually mortality rate would be a lot fucking higher.
DO NOT FOLLOW THE GOVOURMENTS SIT ON HANDS APPROACH UNTIL IT GETS WORSE.
Get your kids out of school now I also know a Dr that has pulled her kids from school already probally not the first either
And stay the fuck away from people not 1 single country is prepared or equipped to what's going to hit them not 1
100%, but I should point out that the US is doing worse than that. The 1 death per hour statistic is just for New York. And it's not even the worst hit area in the US.

The big difference is the Chinese government is competent, they are willing to use the full force of power as their communist structure allows them to deal with these pandemics.

The Italian government is a total mess and has been for a long time. America will go the same way as Italy, the American government is terrible but they are good a making wars and profit.

5 kids? Fuck me mate. You're going to be on lockdown for at least another month but I'd say 2. Good luck with that!

75 years since the last major worldwide crisis, and four generations into the post-modern/humanist era, and we are discovering one of the unforeseen downsides. The typical human in the developed world has a highly developed sense that their every thought and feeling automatically has high validity. That can make it hard for us to see the facts of the case (when we are in the wrong), and hard for us to convince someone else of the facts of the case (when they are wrong).

Sharp lessons on the way, COVID 19 has zero interest in anyone's "subjective truth", it doesn't care if anyone thinks it is real or not, it will infect any host it can land on, and some of those hosts won't make it out alive.

Funny the mardigras was still allowed to go on while this pandemic has been brewing.

But easter show and vivid are cancelled.
The LGBTMI are allowed to have their parade but the rest of us have to suffer.
A very good observation, I thought the same thing. It was the last event attracting an international crowd. Call it coincidence but straight after the parade the covid19 cases in Australia and in particular Sydney surged. Is it not a fact? Coincidence or what?

wow. I have no faith in the government to deal with whats about to happen.
It should be immediate shutdown.
The only people that should be out on the streets is police and army.
If they find someone on the street they should be jailed for the foreseeable future.

Most of them are immune because apparently the HIV drug stops Covid19

The chinese government may be considered competent if you compare them to say the Iraqi government. Failing to disclosure early is the reason we are in this mess. Their stats are all bullshit and not believable.
