Well, no one I know, and no one they know, has been hurt by the coronavirus. And the list of people I know includes two people from Wuhan. If we went out a third degree, we would likely start to pick up victims.

On the other hand, I do personally know someone who was injured by the response; this person responded so badly to the lockdown that they had to be committed.

It's possible that the existence of a pandemic isn't what people are denying...

Don't worry, considering how things are going, that will change this winter.

Unless you are in New Zealand.
