Let's all wet our pants about how bad this has been in Italy.
Done?
Stop for a second and ask why it's so much worse in Italy than Korea?
Why is it so much worse in Italy than on Diamond Princess?
What about what makes Italy so much worse is also present in The United States?
If you don't have the answer to all three things then you don't really know how bad it will be here.
Do I think some parts of the US are going to get as bad as Italy?
I think California is. They were severely strained before this and didn't need the extra load on the system.
I don't think Florida is going to get that bad for most of the state, but God's Waiting Room down in Broward/Miami-Dade has nearly all the cases. The demographics are very similar to Diamond Princess.
Hope for Diamond Princess.
Actually, I think we're going to do much better than Diamond Princess because we're less on top of each other for the most part.
There's a lot of people in the media yelling 'FIRE!' into the crowded theater, and a couple of bloggers who just fucking jerking themselves off that this is the end times and BY GOD! they were right! This time, for sure, they promise.
Not that it matters, if they were the experts at this they claim they are, we'd all have died of ebola already.
Note that we have not died of any calamity they've predicted was an absolute certainty.
Cull them from your reading list until this is over and you should probably stop bothering with the folks who're linking to them as well.
They don't mean you well and are happier than a pig in shit to be spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt.
