Another by-product of this hysteria is a more fearful and larger population of Americans who are likely to adopt and rely on the “What’s government going to do?” attitude.

I wonder. I think that a lot of people will be galvanized to question Government's decisions. Certainly that is the attitude I see on the various political sites I travel on. Having looked at all the numbers I am madder than a wet hen at how CDC & WHO have been playing fast & loose with the responsibilities they have had & the trust the people have placed in them. They have abrogated all responsibility into the hands of medical modelers whose idea of information, with a 1200 raw data count of Influenza deaths during fku season 2019-2020, is to estimate between 22K & 55K deaths from flu this season.
WTH
Every patient has a death certificate with cause of death, why don't we use data instead of models created like those of Global Warming Fake News with fudge factors & guesswork hidden by scientific sounding trappings? I think there is going to be a lot of pushback not only by the people of America but also by DJT; he is very good at nosing out BS.

I agree completely, but entirely anecdotal, first-hand experience locally tells me a LOT of people are buying all the BS and waiting for government to save them and tell them what to do. A buddy of mine manages the local Starbucks (no, he’s not a liberal) and told me their business is down to less than 5% of normal; he expects that they’ll close down soon. FWIW, they’re offering only takeout. A couple “neighbors” (I don’t have any close neighbors) got into a bit of an argument about property boundaries yesterday. My property surrounds theirs and I offered to get my surveyor over to settle the issue, but when I called him, he said, “I’m not going anywhere until this coronavirus thing comes to an end.” I ended up using my OnX hunt app to settle the issue...
