People are freaking out, and desperately want the government to do something about it. I guarantee you that if we have mass forced quarantines, with people unable to leave certain areas, the public will cheer for this.
Correct. And nobody even remembers the H1N1 virus of 2010, which killed 16,000 Americans.
But the S&H cycle is very, very political.
Which is to say, their cycle is nearly impossible to detect and quantify, because informed-people tend to be very, very political (ie., blind as a bat).
Conclusion: If Hillary Clinton were President right now, Covid19 would be a breath of spring-like fresh air, no matter how many innocents breathed deep it's deathly aroma.
p.s. People are not freaking out, they are merely like sheep following a shepherd. In this case, the shepherd is evil like Adolph Hitler etc.
We now be 4t, officially ... finally!
