   Hi Mike!   
      
   22 Mar 2020 09:01, from Mike Powell -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
    >> Anyway ... PLEASE people switch on your brains!   
    >> Obey to necessary measures, and do not be racist!   
      
   See mail to Dan.   
      
   But please focus on the important things!   
   How can you slow down the pandemic, and how can you explain the SERIOUSNESS of   
   the situation to people without causing unnecessary panic.   
      
   Telling people that there are just a few cases and that in the near future   
   those cases will be down to 0 (contrary to ALL predictions of scientists) is a   
   very, very dumb move.   
      
   Telling all people to go to work/school is even worse.   
   The less interaction is the less people can get infected, the slower the   
   spread is.   
   If the spread is slowed down enough then countries with developed health   
   systems have a chance to cope with the serious cases (between 3% and 0.7%).   
   In that case the number of deaths will be minimized.   
   Otherwise many, many more people will die because there are simply not enough   
   ICU available to save the lifes of many citizens!   
      
   CU, Ricsi
