The other thing that makes the "media hoax" angle extra stupid is that "the media" are owned and controlled by billionaires and other assorted shareholders, who are watching their investments in the stock market drop like a rock due to this whole situation.

Apple Says Retail Stores Now Closed 'Until Further Notice'

There are 330 million Americans. If 70% of the population becomes infected that's 231 million people. If the fatality rate is 1% that's 2.31 million people.
Of course, the 327.69 million Americans will be fine.

That's 1 -3 million in American alone. Please see my math above.
Another thing to consider too is that hospitals aren't currently empty - 925,000 hospital beds doesn't necessarily mean a capacity to take in 925,000 persons with COVID-19.

It seems that everything goes in cycles. No system is perfect and ultimately doomed to fail. Back to "iron curtains" and being more self-reliant(at least manufacturing your own toilet paper). China seems to be in a very good position as they managed to combine the best of both worlds.
The difference between 5000 infections and 5,000,000 is 10 weeks. You really, really to read a book.
The precautions taken so far are perfectly reasonable, and if anything a bit late on the behalf of most governments.
Yesterday I tried to order an adapter online, the dongle to connect USB-C to HDMI. 7 to 10 days shipping time. Maybe in other countries is different, but even Amazon Prime that usually ships the next day gave me a Saturday delivery when I tried to order yesterday.
Hopefully I won't need anything to continue working from home. I was planning to use an external monitor I have at home, but I changed my mind after I turned it on and connected to an old PC, the quality is really too low I'd much rather use my retina 15 only and renounce to the second display.
I have a USB keyboard in case mine fails (I'm on a 2016 MBP, you never know...) but if something else happens to my laptop I'll need to take some days of vacation while waiting for another one to be shipped.

While I’m assuming this was somewhat of a comic relief statement, I fear it is far more likely in reality. It will be far less than a lack of beer to initiate the first acts.
The strong survive, the weak die. Friend or not, that's life.

We need to thin the population anyway. Too many people on the planet.

Wow. Hope it doesn’t kill anyone close to you. You might realize how foolish you sound. I thought that same thing 2 weeks ago. Things have changed
So, you and your family get purged first. Thanks for volunteering. Sound good to you?
Come try it.

If it does, it does. Nature doesn't give a **** about feelings.
ONE is even too high a number if it is someone you love.

Agree but not like this. People need to slow down the birth rates. Hear all this about a baby boom now in nine months. That's the LAST thing needed after a pandemic. Overpop is definitely one of the major factors for pandemics.
