Im sure it makes it better for a lot of people to think they’re saving hundreds of thousands of lives sitting at home on their couches, but there are also millions more out there with anxiety issues that now have to look at the constant doomsday predictions and try to figure out how to increase there Xanax dosages in a stressful time like this. There’s truly no way to know what any other dimension on the timeline would have looked like because this is the first time any of us in the world are dealing with Covid-19.
Lots of experts in this thread. Some of you have some very good information and I’m not trying to argue against social distancing or any of the measures we have or haven’t taken. I’m just trying to remind some of you experts that it’s a virus and it’s the universe. Go smoke a joint or pour a drink and listen to “Let it be“ and remember we’re doing the best we can.

I just how the medical world operates the odds of dying during a minor surgical procedure is pretty low but they still have to mentions all possible complications, not because the surgeon is all doom and gloom and is trying to get more ratings.
