I assume that by then Trump will have managed to infect his dumb self and passed on, and his base will have already decided that the autopsy was fake and he was assassinated by the New York Times. Also by then I will have run out of alcohol and drugs. So we’ll all be a little bit tense and antisocial.

At the point where you decide you’d rather flood the healthcare system to death than make the effort to spread the infections out over time.
Maybe if they focused all health care only on those who actually require healthcare there would be less panic and more treatment. Health care and supporting services are finite resources. Thinking that any country can ramp up having test kits and processing test kits for all without taking away capacity from treating those actually requiring immediate health care is just wrong.

Everything I have read has a general agreement on;
40% - 70% infection rate in the end,
of those infected,
75% will be minor flu like symptoms,
20% will have bad flu like symptoms,
5% will require medical assistance,
1% - 2% mortality rate.

The quicker we can identify who is at risk at being in that 5% pool requiring medical assistance if infected the better. Communicate clearly so people can make informed decisions on the correct actions to take to mitigate getting C19 and what to do if they suspect they have it. And for those identifying as at risk of being in the 5% pool, a much more detailed of do's and don't's to follow.

I can't believe I forgot about the number one tip of survival: make sure you can get high daily. Priorities.
