That Sluder kid is super-lucky .... his "If I get corona I get corona" video should've gone viral and he should be an infamous household name by now. Makes me think the social-media mavens in his age group kind of think he's right, even if secretly.
I agree with everything you said.
. Lets save the world in another one 
I assume this is happening all the time just naturally over the course of a day and wash my fruit/produce accordingly before consumption.
This is a valid point. It's not how many get tested, it's the death rate that counts.
What? The US has more than 200 deaths and Italy had way less than 3000 deaths on day 18, but nice try.
I don't think we are overreacting, but I do think we are further along that curve than most suspect because of our lack of testing. Does anyone know how widely the test was available in Italy? I have no doubt we have more cases here than we know about due to the lack of tests. If they were testing a larger percentage of their population than we are, the math says we actually have more cases proportionally missed and may not be as far behind on the curve compared to them. All unknown and speculative obviously.
Did you see a list?

We are all deluding ourselves if we think this is only going to last a couple of weeks.
If we're going to compare graphs let's hope it follows number of deaths and is 1/5th as bad.
We hit 100 cases on March 2 (day 1). March 19 (day 18) we had 207 deaths.
And the damage from even 2 months....wow. Bankruptcies, increased crime, suicides, the list goes on and on.
Again, it's not about staying indoors forever. It's about staying indoors for a few weeks so the healthcare systems has time to continue preparations and face smaller waves, spread out over longer time frames.
You are still ahead of the curve.... tell your neighbors.
If number of deaths get bad, we'll shelter and come over it quicker.
After the first two weeks, they will announce that the curve has not flattened, and so we will all be expected to "shelter indoors" for another 2 weeks.
You can go outside. Just need to stay 6 ft apart from each other. The only thing that's changed is non essential businesses are closed.
It’s not just “going outside”, no chance people have enough food to last them, or enough money to buy additional food. People will get fed up and go out to work or whatever’s needed to get money to acquire food. If people don’t have an emergency supply of money, they certainly do r have an emergency supply of food and supplies.
Well, since that's what you think - and you clearly know more than our elected leaders and medical professionals - let's just not even try then.
Yeah I worry about this tipping point. That's when things can go south in a hurry. I live in Oakland, where all levels of society are represented, coupled with an understaffed policy force and dysfunctional city administration. Seems things are calm now. Will crime spike? Riots? Looting? If basic societal services decline or degrade, and access to common goods becomes challenging, I'm not sure how long the dam will hold.
We ordered from our favorite Italian place last night and got a $100 gift certificate for later.
It's not that I think we shouldn't try.
My DIL is a contract nurse. She has learned that in the hospital where she normally works (occasional one day contracts), nurses are basically using one mask throughout their shift. In normal times, and ideally, they'd change masks when visiting each new patient. Not good. DIL is not taking contract jobs right now, given that she has 3 and 1/2 year old sons ...it's just not worth the risk (especially given the mask situation), despite her desire to help out.
The more we stay in the longer it lasts.
In SF and the Bay Area south police are monitoring that businesses comply. If not they are informed. Next up, in trouble.
