Italy has more elderly people than any other country--and they are the ones who are dying along with a small number of younger people with compromised immune systems.
Yes, and here in Britain, the over 80's will not receive any treatment, if the situation becomes too critical, and it will be the younger people who will take precedence. So the elderly must be really scared.
And as far as I can tell, the fuckwits who are stockpiling are not the elderly. Women can't get baby formula or paracetamol. No wipes for their babies. For fuck sake! People are stockpiling that stuff when they don't even have a baby!
That's why the army needs to step in and keep order, this is like the war times. Times like this is why we have an army. People are greedy and selfish and think only about themselves.

I was agreeing with the plan to lock-down whole societies simply because it make sense to do so.
I'm thinking it doesn't. Did you read the article?
It shows we routinely accept risks FAR greater than the present virus, and we don't shut down societies as a result. That doesn't argue that we don't take reasonable precautions, such as hand washing, avoiding crowds, and so on; it means we don't "go postal" and start taking absurd ones, like locking everybody in their houses.
Look I was just literally off the bat responding to your why question about why are we are all hunkering down. And I gave my opinion on that ok.

Dude dood. Do you comprehend what is upon mankind? Let the virus run riot like northern Italy?
What's upon mankind is a mediocre virus that folks are blowin' way out of proportion.

Read the article.
Fuck the article.
The point is, this virus is killing people and people are saturating the hospitals, we need to lock-down NOW. Or there will not even be any medical people to look after the patients, for they will all have died from exhaustion and stress.

What this short sighted typical US TRIPE?
Twenty-two of those deaths occurred in one poorly run nursing home outside of Seattle, the Life Care Center. Another nine deaths occurred in the rest of Washington state, leaving ten deaths (four in California, two in Florida, and one in each of Georgia, Kansas, New Jersey, and South Dakota) spread throughout the rest of the approximately 329 million residents of the United States. This represents roughly .000012 percent of the U.S. population.
...um. This is out of about 40 deaths. AT PRESENT TIME ...WOT A FUCKIN MORONIC POINT TO MAKE.
This virus is far more contagious than the flu and far more deadly - lets give it another month and then have a look at those figures.

That's dumb. No, the propagandists need to ratchet the direness down from 100 to 10, report facts only, and stop stirrin' the friggin' pot. If the propagandists could put agenda aside for a bit and actually be the reporters they claim they are, the public (anywhere) would calm the flip down.
Likewise with the elected folk: stop caterin' to hysteria and serve the public responsibly.

What's the army going to do? Shoot people for buying too much toilet paper? It will be enough for supermarkets to put restrictions on EVERYTHING. Put an end to stockpiling.
