Sure Fort Fun Indiana and it will get better as more people gain immunity and catch up to the double or triple infection rates around 5:2. The death rates aren't the worst problem but hospitalization rates at 15%. That's what is overwhelming hospital and funeral staff causing mass pileups in the thousands at each epicenter site. Now military may be trained for battle and watching fellow soldiers die by their side in the line of duty. But don't tell me we have trained nursing interns to confront that onslaught daily, risking their lives not knowing who has a fatal reaction or not even when "it's only 1 %". Because of thousands infected in a condensed place and time that means they will see those deaths instead of it being spread out. I'm sorry but we are not "numbers" in a statistical equation. People feel that stress, and connect spiritually to fellow medics feeling that across the globe. This has a bigger human impact on morale beyond what numbers show. It may not make sense mathematically. But even if one person out of a thousand shows love to one person in a million, that connection matters. And when that is broken it can have a shattering effect. We have a choice to care what our neighbor cares about, to listen and not judge over what the numbers show. If you dont like the hype and panic neither do I. But the medical demands are real. They will go back down faster by taking this seriously and helping the medical relief efforts no matter what Italy surges are compared with NY Louisiana or Texas. Human pain is the same. The escalations have caught everyone off guard, and everyone has underestimated it, from China to Trump, so we are equal in trying to make sense of this first exposure and get it down quickly so we can work on recovery after the waves of escalation are under control and not causing more panic. I'm with you on reducing that panic.
