I have a middle finger for you for how cold hearted you sound. As though “it’s no big deal”. My wife went through this (previously healthy 34 year old) and it was terrible. The docs just said: “there’s nothing more we can do”

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Maybe reading a thread on the economic implications of this disaster -- which will inevitably discuss both the terrible parts and the silver linings -- isn't the healthiest thing for you right now?
Unfortunately in mitigating a national crisis it is a balance - and largely a dehumanized balance where everyone is diminished to a statistic.
How is your wife now? Sorry if that’s too personal.
She's doing better now, thanks for asking! She's still got a bit of a cough, but will almost surely make a 100% recovery.
Great to hear.
