For now the wealthy and connected are being tested and treated while others are ignored

But as the numbers sky rocket these dumbasses will be treated like commoners. Their old relatives in assisted living won’t get treatment, all their stupid kids partying away at spring break will be getting sick and be shocked because they thought it only effected old people. Since Trump and company have stalled and lied we will very soon surpass every other country in the world for infection rate and a large part of our medical community will be getting sick. They’ll be housing us in school gyms and tents. I really don’t think I’m overstating it. You just have to look at the numbers and extrapolate. I don’t know why so many people are incapable of that. I guess we’ve lived in a society that’s managed to skate so often people can’t believe we won’t this time as well.

I really don’t think it’s far away. By the end of April millions will be affected. I guess all some can do is watch out for themselves and their families for now.
