all about something that isn't even nearly as bad as the common flu. What do they know that we don't?
trump "mispoke" earlier, saying that extreme social distancing would be going on until july or august, and was then corrected by fauci really makes you think

They know what everyone else does. You can go look at the DNA sequence of the virus, it's publicly available. It's SARS. SARS 2. And this time it's more infectious and destroys the heart.

>What do they know that we don't? This isn't the right question to ask. The right question is "what does everyone else know that I don't".
My guess would be that you are not considering the fact that hospitals are scaled to account for the normal flu, but with a sudden surge of, literally, millions of people who need hospitalization they won't have the capacity to treat them all. You could see this happen in Italy if you had been paying attention. If you get respiratory issues and you're over the age of 60, you get told to stay home and die because they are prioritizing people who are more likely to survive than you.
This is with only a few tens of thousands of confirmed cases. We'll reach peak wu-flu in a few months, and the US will have millions of simultaenous cases.

Except SARS didn't cause nearly this much of a panic. Neither has any illness in recent history. That's why it's so strange

Sounds like people are soon starting to get what far-right nutjobs got in January. This will be the most catastrophic pandemic since the Black Plague. Even worse than the Spanish Flu in terms of general impact.
