yep, in a society based on individualism losing what makes you an individual is like losing existence

I'm a lawyer myself and have worked with many top lawyers. They can be smart individuals but they're not qualified at all to have an opinion on managing pandemics.
I'm pretty sure that most governments are also listening to economists and other experts and trying to find a solution which is not easy. We'll probably see what they determine in the coming weeks.

Because people in the US have no parents, friends or relatives? Because it's harder in the US than in Serbia to land a job? That's just ... no. Also, what he posted had a list of many countries outside of the US.
You think that's reasonable? To me that looks like finding an excuse to kill yourself. IMO kill yourself is an easy rout. Fighting and keep going forward is what's hard.
You all (or majority) know where I live. But not many of you know what I've been through even as a little kid. Not just me but plenty of people. During 90s we had hyperinflation which is iirc the second biggest in the history of written economics, only behind Argentina. That meant that you work, like my mom and dad, and you get wages that are 2-3e (todays equivalent). Once you get to the store from the moment you got that money, chances are 90% you won't be able to buy anything because during that period prices rocked jumped due to hyperinflation. I know my dad spent his wage to buy refrigerator bags only lol. You think it looked like it's gonna get better tomorrow or the next day? Nah, you just keep going and keep on fighting, because you know (or believe) that you'll survive it and live for a better day. During those crazy years we had empty shelves in stores and they only let kids buy because they had sympathy for kids when it comes to getting flour or oil. I went to a store pretending I don't know my brother so we increase the chance of buying something. My brother had torn shoes and it was rainy, couldn't do shit about it but keep going. After we had wars, bombs going on us, etc. It sure looked more fucking desperate than losing a job which, in most of the cases, is fucking stupid and/or meaningless.
I'm not even saying this so people would think sorry for me. I don't really care. I think that majority of people are so tender and soft (not to say pussies) because they had everything in their life while somebody pets their balls so they don't cry. I'm saying it also because people are not aware of how much you can handle while not even losing your personality, not becoming a thief or a criminal, or even come out as a bigger and better man. I, for one, am in position to value things in life SO MUCH because I know how amazing it is to hold a perfume that's worth 50e, shoes of 50-100e, phone of 150e, etc. because I know how it feels to have nothing. You appreciate things you have. I'm so glad I published a book, hell, even people here helped me do it. It's a huge thing for me and it makes me super happy, more happy than some spoiled millionaire brats who can't be happy without their yachts.
There's so many things to look forward to in your life which is beautiful, even when it sucks and while you're on your knees crawling back on the top. Because you get on that top and it feels amazing. Killing yourself is easy, it's just pulling a fucking gun and getting over with it. Majority of the jobs are stupid and machines could replace those. They are just stupid. It's quite rare to have a meaningful job and I love those. But there are so many great things beyond a standard 8 hour shift. I wish people valued themselves a lot higher and not put themselves down for stupidass reason like some mediocre and retarded job.
Mind it, I'll mention two things because people can generally be morons and interpret things differently. 1) no, I don't think what I've been through is great, nor I'd like anyone to suffer like that but learn on others 2) this doesn't go for those with diseases, meaning depression, because that's totally different issue

Reality? 
fuck off with that noise, also stop replying to my posts, not only do you not have anything I'm interested in hearing, you are a typical emotional wreck, first with the milan business and now this, I'm bad for your health, go cower in your corner and cry.

Everybody except South Korea and Japan was wrong about the masks and this is why these countries did so well.
Airborne transmission was overrated and droplet transmission was underrated in the West. The very simple surgical masks might not stop airborne virus particles but it sure as hell keeps drops coming out from an infected person's cough or sneeze inside the mask.

I bought a few packs of N95 masks as soon as the outbreak was getting out of hand in Wuhan. Of course they would say the masks aren't useful for common folks since they don't want to deplete the supply. Continuity of government, et cetera.
Well, what you describe is an argument as to why the situation in the US could be disastrous for multiple reasons. You grew up through terrible times and are seemingly a lot tougher because of it. The people that survived the great depression basically had nothing other than their own ingenuity and grit, allowing them to make do with what they had. Nowadays in the US, from boomers to kids in college, most aren't self-sufficient, have no savings, and need to be told what to do and think. Once they realize the government can't save everyone, that wake-up call will cause some to lose control.
