Oh please, would you calm down.
You've used the following words in your post:
"DIRE"
"FREAKING WILDFIRE"
"DEEP TROUBLE"
COVID-19 is enough to deal with. People need to go for a walk, breath into a paper bag, something - rather than become emotional blue-lights on FR.
“Dire” was not my word - I was responding to someone else that used it.
And FWIW, the virus IS spreading like wildfire - here. And we ARE in deep trouble. This is not necessarily new news.
