People in Hubei are closing in on 3 months of lockdown. Other provinces not far behind. Are Americans really that uncivilised they cannot bear the thought of several months locked down in the comfort of their own homes?

There is so much doomsday nonsense like your post I don’t know where to start. People have lost their god damn minds on the internet. Go outside and go on a walk. If you don’t understand why a 3 month country wide lockdown would be orders of magnitude more dangerous than this virus, you need to snap yourself out of the trance you are in. People have lost their minds around here.

  Perhaps you have lost your cool a little? I am quite content to work from home, go hiking on the weekends and meet up with friends in open spaces as allowed by the lock down rules. I can arguably go skating, surfing, walking and much more. Its not ideal, but if it's required, I'll do it. We are not going to fall apart. Except for twitchy individuals like you, it seems...

I am sure all the waiters, cooks, restaurant owners, shop owners, shop staff, cleaning crew, construction workers, gardners, pilots, cabin crew, airport staff, taxi drivers, dentists, haidressers and business operators staff for all these businesses will be more than happy to stay at home for 3+ months without pay.

  For sure dude. They can just play video games and order from Uber eats for all their meals! They totally won’t riot out in the streets.... (/s)

  Such is the reality when a large percentage of the workforce are in dispensable jobs that are over-exposed to Black Swan events like this. Countries with an adequate social security net in place have a (temporary) answer at least.

A good number of us will be locked out in the comfort of the fucking street if we can't pay the damn rent.
