The coronavirus is coming to you.

It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.

It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two. When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.

Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways. Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.

They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.

The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today. That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.

As a politician, community leader or business leader, you have the power and the responsibility to prevent this.

You might have fears today: What if I overreact? Will people laugh at me? Will they be angry at me? Will I look stupid? Won’t it be better to wait for others to take steps first? Will I hurt the economy too much?

But in 2–4 weeks, when the entire world is in lockdown, when the few precious days of social distancing you will have enabled will have saved lives, people won’t criticize you anymore: They will thank you for making the right decision.

Ok, let’s do this.

“Dr. Peter Venkman : This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.

Mayor : What do you mean, “biblical”?

Dr. Raymond Stantz : What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.

Dr. Peter Venkman : Exactly.

Dr. Raymond Stantz : Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!

Dr. Egon Spengler : Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...

Winston Zeddemore : The dead rising from the grave!

Dr. Peter Venkman : Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!”

I think I would rather just sit back and watch puds like you panic as your body is overwhelmed by cold-like symptoms.

Have you ever worked?

Take care of yourself. Everyone else will do the same. Stop being afraid and telling everyone what to do. Everyone has heard and will do what they want no matter how much you type.

Just do what you think you should do.

I’m going to do what I think I should do.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGH! PRIMAL SCREAM! WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!

The end has come!

Who will be left to dig the graves! Dogs will feed on the corpses as they pile along the streets!

Children will stumble along in search of long dead parents!

Woe is me! Woe is me!

And then we get to sit in our homes and watch the great depression part two. If everyone stays in their homes, the economy will tank. It won’t be long before all weak business fold. People will be laid off in droves. Then there will be the people in their homes not working from home but just sitting there. The rent won’t be paid. And the market will fall further.

Oh, and when we finally do leave our homes, the virus will be right there waiting for us. Its like climbing a tree to get away from a wolf. How long can you stay in the tree. And does this really solve your problem. The wolf can easily wait it out. This strategy is not going to work.

I’ve been saying this for 3 weeks already.

We must do it or we are going to get wrecked. Every Asian nation that did it has had success.
