I took covid seriously when a doctor I follow on Twitter shared how bad things were early on.

  Same. At one point there were a few. Those people are heroes.

  I am European, and I recall seeing Italian nurses warning the rest of Europe to take this seriously. They were saying this because they were running out of ventilators and their morgues were overflowing. That's when I started taking it seriously, 1 week later my country hit lockdown. This was somewhere in March.

    I have comment threads in my country's subreddit from that week, where someone wrote that their partner was returning from a business trip to Italy. Someone wrote, "consider quarantining for a couple of weeks just in case". The replies in that thread were along the lines of "Pffff...If everyone did that the Earth would stand still, idiot!"
