Why would you find out in 2 weeks if its a load of crap? It's not a ghost, it's a real thing. By now a shit ton of people have been infected / recovered, a shit ton of people died, and hopefully given the infection rate it'll die down.

Although apparently Texas and a couple other states are hitting +50% spikes in infection rates. So we'll see.

The whole thing has been pretty shitty for me. My mom is immunocompromised, haven't been able to see her in months. If I want to visit her I'd have to straight up quarantine with no outside exposure for weeks to be safe and I can't actually do that. People can talk about it being not a big deal all they want, I'm not even fuckin remotely risking my mom's life over it.
The same could be said about the flu. Your mom isn’t going to be able to outrun this, neither is my mom who is just recovering from cancer. The virus will eventually spread to everyone if it’s as infectious as the doomsdayers think it is. The scientific community has been pretty clear that the whole reason for the quarantine was to flatten the curve, not to eliminate the virus altogether.

As long as we have a government that’s willing to pay $13,000 for every Coronavirus patient admitted and $39,000 for throwing them on a ventilator, we aren’t going to see a slow down of new cases. That’s big money, even for a hospital.
