Are we over or under reacting to events?

Under reacting. The government has been telling people how to prevent the spread for long enough, and yet some idiots think 'lockdown' is some kind of holiday fgs. It is the responsibility of ALL the people to stop the spread of this virus. If they can't offer practical help by volunteering at least they can STFU and do as they are told.

The situation is of our own creation we have built a house of straw to live in the world lives on debt it is not about us and when the going gets tough the devil  will take the hindmost go home and cost us nothing is the answer

under reacting to events I am over 80 and had a good life dont care to put myself out

Only time will tell but if I had a sick or old person I care about I'd be angry if the government did not take steps to try and save them from a virus that would kill them, that's why I don't trust the Tory's because they are all about the money just like trump, the virus s real, money is just a man made manipulation monetary system that is as real as we allow it to be, stuck on deserted island it would be of no use

New York has 25,000 cases. Yes it's a very populated state, but we need to take action. It's frustrating bc there's always the what-if. What if school's weren't closed? How different would things be? 

But the sooner we stop the spread depends on how much we react to the events. So, I guess better to over react than under react.
