Gonna pop in here and share some of the feelings of helplessness I see in America right now. New York looks like it's about to go through hell, and as a Brooklyn born person, it upsets me far more than I was expecting to see hospitals I know in the area - places where I was born, friends or family were hospitalized in - turn into max capacity chaos zones. Worse still is how due to the bumbling buffoonery of the current elected administration, it's horrifying to see how this has become a "state issue." We're going to see states downplay this issue to "get people back to work" and this is almost exclusively a Republican party push; much better to make people expose themselves to illness for stonks, I guess. I can totally see an environment that Trump says everything is fine on Easter, tell everyone normal life must return, and things to get worse. America is already likely poised to be the worst hit in terms of infections and potentially deaths, so this timeline of us being free to go in weeks, not months, is scary. And of course, he'll use Twitter to attack the states that stay home, which will be the major cities in the country.
Sorry for getting so political here. My naivety was that a crisis like this would have the country gather in solidarity. I didn't expect to hear arguments, not even a month in, that people should just die because we have to live for the stock market.
