BECAUSE the government of every stinking state has been taking measures exactly so this won't happen. IF nothing was done then yes this would have happened. It's kind of like a fire in the corner of your living room. Someone says "hey if we don't put it out it will burn down the whole house!" To you that stupid alarmism. And when someone does put it out you later say "See I was right...you were panicking over nothing!"
This is the story of the little boy who rang a bell in the city center. When asked why, he said to keep away the elephants. When told there are no elephants, he said, “See? It works!”
Can you name any of the pandemics (or even epidemics) of the past hundred years in which “nothing” was done? Then can you name a single outbreak in that same timeframe where the entire country has effectively been shut down before now?
