Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but my opinion as to why this pandemic is being so heavily feared in comparison to ones in the past is because of the state of the US healthcare system.
Go to any ER prior to corona and you’re waiting 2-5 hours to be seen. Sprinkle this issue on top of an already shaky foundation and you have sheer chaos. All these efforts are being taken to prevent the system from toppling.
It isn’t so much that the virus is more aggressive than viruses in the past, but that our system is in no means capable to handle a virus like this in its current state.
That’s my $0.02.
