My family is right now the epicenter and we've thought it was serious from the beginning. Except for a minority here, people are taking it serious. Overreacting to save lives is okay.

Have not heard of anyone changing their opinion completely but some individuals are moderating their pushback.

Humans are not good at anticipating and proactively managing dangers that are invisible, or feel delayed.

It’s a behavioral thing. Also why we mostly suck at investing for the future.

It’s exacerbated in the US by a distrust of institutions and a culture of stubborn individualism. Not to mention a partisan divide that has one half of politics completely in thrall to a man completely disconnected from reality.

We’re at least as fucked as Italy. Probably moreso.

Normalcy bias is a beyotch. Sadly the more “full China,” we go the least death and least the tab is. But instead we had Paddy’s day all over... lovely...

“Just the flu bro,” folks will get the pneumonia’s first. The European situation shows us the China data is light, if the care system breaks. My neighborhood had a 350 person Paddy’s party last night. All it takes is one asymptomatic for BOOM.

What got me was an article saying in Italy they have to decide who lives and dies right now. I have family members freaking out and ones still saying "you know the regular flu kills more people".

Trump lacks credibility with a large portion of this nation and I think that much of what he says is immediately disregarded by that portion.

Wdym about our medical system handling the deaths? If i’m interpreting it correctly, last resort cremate i guess.
