Yeah. This is really tough.
I see both sides. Just need to really be careful, on the delivery.

I read one article a day that is critical to my family and I and don't read anymore, a lot of my friends are getting consumed by it all!

Y'all have a Warmer climate overall, right?

We do, but we are going into winter soon.... we just have a lower population density compared to most other countries, our average age is the same as US, we don't do 3 kiss greetings like Italy and MOSTLY everyone listens on what to do... our numbers for the first time went on a downward trend overnight so let's see if that trend continues but last I checked we had 13 deaths and 3043 confirmed infections....
I think we are about to go into a more permanent lockdown but I think they will wait to see if that downward/levelling out trend continues...

This really concerns me. Republican friends of mine have been very skeptical of Coronavirus fears and you can see a vast difference in response in Red states vs, Blue states. Right now it is worst in NY, WA and CA but that has more to do with international travel and business connections to China and Italy. I really worry about Florida, Georgia, Texas etc. because the narrative pushed by Trump, Fox and conservative radio like Rush is that this is a liberal hoax and is overblown. My Facebook page is full of conservative friends grasping at any quack article that denies the real risk here. I hope beyond hope that Florida doesn’t suffer for the lack of respect given to this threat by DeSantis especially given the number of retirees there.
Nothing about Coronavirus has anything to do with the absurd level of partisan politics that we have today in US and yet here we are. I really hope that leaders in Red States haven’t dropped the ball and wake up in time to institute the proper measures to protect their states.
Yeah this isn't good.
I mean seriously I need to time breaks from this stuff now. I think I have to scroll and refresh harder online now for this virus over any Celtics game thread in the past. (although it's close, especially if Cave got rolling against the negative crew lol).
I thought we were keeping politics out of this thread.

I hope you're right, but I've seen a majority of people not really doing what is asked of them or paying attention, especially in Queensland. I'm back at home in Melbourne now in isolation so it's hard to gauge what's happening out there. Statistically we're on the precipice and it can go either way, we'll know a lot more in two weeks.
I think it's smart not to get too consumed if possible, but without sport and my habit of coming here or BigFooty, all talk leads back here and I find I'm losing that battle a little.
But you're right in that population density and demographics wise we are lucky. No real evidence yet of warmer climates being a factor but at the very least you can't rule it out completely. I'm grateful our testing rates are quite high per capita too.
