Lockdowns and fear-spreading are a political decisions, regardless to if we judge them to be wrong or not. So, if people don't go to the doctor, that's because they are worried from what they watched on television. If hospitals collapse, that's because they are either not prepared, or have lots of staff in quarantine. That's not because of a virus, but because of how humans were prepared and chose to deal with the situation.
- watwut 6y agoThis framing where any action that takes virus seriously is talked about as "fear" is quite manipulative political action too. Let's not pretend the "whether we judge it right or wrong" somehow removes it. So is attributing overloaded hospitals to "lots of staff in quarantine" given how it looked like in Italy or Spain or New York.
