    This article by @HMDatMI on #COVID19 has to be the most ignorant, brain dead, irresponsible, “don’t worry, be happy” denial of the potential disaster that the coronavirus pandemic could bring, plus a bit of “those old people are going to die soon anyway.” https://newcriterion.com/blogs/dispatch/compared-to-what …

        I mean, holy hell, how can you be so obtuse? No, #COVID19 is not like the flu. It’s more contagious and 10-20x more deadly. People like this are part of the reason why I despair that we’ll be able to #flatteningthecurve and prevent our healthcare systems from being overwhelmed.

        well, the publication's editor is still using a racist term for the virus, and claiming we're all panicking over nothing, so are you surprised?https://twitter.com/rogerkimball/status/1238812173436157958?s=20 …

        The madness of crowds: 50 people in the US have died from the Wuhan virus. Panic! Close everything. Declare martial law. Ground the planes. Stop the subways. Destroy the economy. In 2009, there were 115,000 cases of H1N1 virus in the US, 15,000 hospitalizations, 3,500 deaths. pic.twitter.com/bxhr4sXUg3

        Obviously money is more important to Heather then life itself. Old people will die, but my husband is 70 with multiple comorbidities including a recent TAVR, and I’d like him to be with me for years to come. I won’t sacrifice him for the almighty dollar.

        In 1343, nobody in North America had died of the Black Death. Hence no problem, fake news about Yersinia
