Suspend housing demolition due to COVID-19

this pandemic is affecting all of us

If you live in the US, or any country that isnt Italy or China, you're still more likely to be killed by inner city gang violence as an accidental bystander than you are at risk of mortality from any known coronavirus, to put the panic in perspective.

Its the equivalent of "I know people who smoke, please suspend timers", only that will kill more people over any time period.

And we all hope that the situation in other countries won't end up like in Italy or China, right? That's exactly the reason why the governments have to take action now, why they are closing schools and businesses. To get the virus to stop spreading. They don't do it for fun or to get the people to panic without any reason. They do it to keep the worst from happening. This results in the losses of income and jobs...but it has to be done to safe lives.

I really don't get why some people still can't understand that and try to downplay the situation...

"Things are fine for me so I assume they're alright for everyone else"

Probably.
