saw this on another forum & though it as worth sharing here
no links, as I am not trying to promote another forum:
There is a lot of misinformation on both sides of this issue.
The reality is that two things can be true at the same time:
1. There is a novel respiratory virus that is more deadly than the flu and dangerous because of the fact that no one has immunity and it can be spread asymptomatically therefore cases can increase incredibly quickly. This is more of a problem in areas with high population density.
2. We need to get back to work or else we risk compounding the pain and suffering through unemployment and economic collapse. Sitting at home doesn’t cure the virus or solve the problem.
There is no need to create a false dichotomy.
The fake news and fear mongering is being countered with equally fake news on the other side that the virus is a hoax, the numbers are cooked, and people are dying WITH coronavirus not BECAUSE of coronavirus.
Just be honest, it’s going to suck for some but we need to deal with it and all get back to work while acting responsibly by washing our hands, wearing masks, and avoiding unnecessary interactions.
Oh, and fuck China for being so incompetent by letting this virus escape from their lab and trying to cover it up.
