Dear stan1960 and to all,goodday.I hope you and your loved ones are well.I would like to comment on this meme.I have a friend who is a nurse in Milan in northern part of Italy.I am from Tunisia and we met 1 year he lived here.We communicate about every 15 days.The situation there is absolutely horrible,he tells me people are dying at an extremely high rate still,and the health care system is entirely filled,there is nothing more they can do to help more,definitely not in their hospital.He works 12-13 hour shifts and is the most depressed,exhausted and all negative feelings associated he has ever been,he says after almost 1 and a half month.Many patients suffer immensely,of all ages and health statuses,of course not at equal extent and chance,but even healthy young people suffer like a car is on their chest sometimes because of the pneumonia and other results of this coronavirus.The whole of Italy and some to many places in Europe and around the world including my country Tunis,north Africa,and other parts of Africa,much of Asia are on total lockdown.This virus is not a joke.It is estimated to kill 30 times more people than the flu at 3% mortality on average,which in Italy is even quite higher.If we don't take this seriously the whole world could be like that at one point each place,because its not gonna happen simultaneously everywhere.Especially when the virus approaches low income per capita countries like many in Africa,Asia,South America,this is going to get worse,unless we stop it. Social Conditioning has nothing to do with that,this is only facts,statistics and truth as reported to those who live in this hell.May I ask dear does millions to tens of millions statistically possible potential deaths from not having social distancing matter to you,Yes or No? The virus transmits by closer physically contact and distance. May I ask dear Why would you not agree to saving so many human beings from losing their lives and immense suffering. Is being physically close to a friend matter to you more than not giving this virus to others including your relatives and loved ones.Is it too impossible to keep a distance with your friend of 5 meters(15 feet),while walking or joggiwg down the streets or even better not getting out as possible.I've been in quarantine for the last 3 weeks,and I am only living with my family,not going to my grandparents closer than 15 feet outside their door,i go by every day speaking with them,but not in their house.
