We have not seen the impact of the virus and most people do not have a sense of how fast it can spread.

We have not seen the impact it has on hospitals. People will start to get scared once they see the hospitals getting full and the care workers starting to burnout, given the 10+% hospitalization rate. Unfortunately by that time most of us will be forced to stay home.

Look at what is happening in Italy. Only after they were forced to stay home have they finally taken the situation seriously.

The CDC has said that most of us will eventually get it. We just hope we don't all get it so fast that the hospital system is overwhelmed.

If the hospitals get massively overloaded, then people who are not sick from the coronavirus still won't be able to go because there will be no room for them, even if they need to quite desperately.
