> They’re overwhelmed because the media is deliberately creating mass hysteria Are we discussing opinions or facts here? I guess you're not aware of what's happening in Italy. Health services are overflowing with the ones requiring serious care. Not the ones testing out their sniffles. https://www.euronews.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-italy-doctors-forced-to-prioritise-icu-care-for-patients-with-best-chance-of-s https://www.euronews.com/2020/03/12/coronavirus-italy-doctor... This conversation very quickly went from HN quality to Reddit-like, which made me look up your profile - it looks like you're new here, I'd suggest you to read a few HN quidelines :)

It’s a throwaway, I’ve been using HN for close to a decade. I’ve worked with multiple YC companies and currently work at Google on a team with multiple YC alumni. Refusing to acknowledge facts or listen to reason, becoming insecure and digging in on a completely irrational argument, then digging through my profile in an attempt to turn it into a pointless pissing match is all you’ve done here, and I think that describes discourse on reddit pretty well. Didn’t mean to hurt your pride, just trying to share some rational ideas in a time of unprecedented hysteria. Think what you want.

  > Refusing to acknowledge facts or listen to reason.. I think you missed the main point of my previous comment again. Seriously, facts rather than opinions right now. I'll repeat again: I guess you're not aware of what's happening in Italy. Health services are overflowing with the ones requiring serious care.

Not sniffles - all serious cases.
