A solid month of messaging “stay at home” and “hospitals are overwhelmed” and ratings driven fear-mongering been far more effective than policy makers ever intended.

Hospitals were overwhelmed in many places in the world. People absolutely should have stayed home.

Or are you trying to claim that the virus is a hoax or something? This is a real risk. We've seen what happens in Madrid and Milan if you lock down just ~10 days too late.

And the messaging to that effect was effective. People have taken it to heart.

HN isn’t the place to push hyperbole and straw man. Go back to Reddit for that.

You make my point more effectively than I do.
