Believe me, you don’t want things to get this dire, so follow the goddamn instructions and start toning down your social life accordingly BEFORE .... hits the fan.
For two reasons: you might be young and resilient to covid, but you still may end up at the hospital for other reasons and things get very ....ed up when they don’t know where to put patients. We are already hearing of hospitals having to make Philosophical trolley level decisions with patients and this is NOT FUN when you’re on the wrong side of the odds.
