It's not just about the people falling ill with the virus. It's also about everything else. Don't just think about people in a similar situation to yours. There are people out there with other problems as well.
Hospitals are not just there for victims of the corona virus. There are other ill people as well. If the medical system becomes overwhelmed then other seriously ill people will suffer as well. Maybe even die. My son had a hospital appointment coming up. Hospital called to cancel it due to the virus. The virus is very worrying. It's twice as worrying for people who are contending with other illnesses.
Supermarket shelves are drying up. People are stockpiling. Healthy people can get by with bits and bats. But there are people out there who can't just eat anything and make do due to other on going illnesses. So they have to either stock up or suffer. Alhamdulillah I have the ability to stock up for my family and I'll son. Others cannot financially afford to. What will they do when there is nothing left to buy? Steal? Civil unrest?
Those 2 issues are from my perspective. There will be many other problems that others will experience. If this virus is not stopped or at least held back then there could be dire consequences. We couldn't contain it so now we MUST delay it as much as possible. I would welcome a state of emergency now before it gets too late.
This virus has only been around for a few weeks and already this global society that we have built up is on its knees and crumbling. Imagine what will happen if every country in the world ends up like Italy. It will be like some dystopian end of days movie.
Maybe I am over exaggerating. I hope I am. But I don't remember anything hitting humanity as hard as this. I believe we must all take drastic measures.
