People who take the COVID-19 threat seriously:
Scientific and medical experts
Anyone who actually cares about facts and empirical evidence, and listens to what scientific and medical experts have to say
People who don't take the COVID-19 threat seriously:
Crony corporate elites who want to force businesses to stay open, by government fiat if necessary, because who cares about the spread of a global pandemic as long as profit margins stay up?
Religious extremists who insist on having large church/synagogue/mosque gatherings, because they believe the virus is a divine punishment and they're certain that God will protect them
Political extremists who don't believe the virus is a big deal because they can't imagine their Glorious Leader Trump (or his foreign equivalents) ever being wrong
Skeptics and conspiracy theorists who don't believe the virus is a big deal because they can't imagine the Mainstream Media ever being right
Anti-vaxxer quacks who don't believe the virus is real at all, because apparently germ theory is wrong and the real problem is 5G signals and GMOs and toxins
New age woo-peddlers who are certain that the virus can be easily cured by this one simple trick for just $19.99, so get your colloidal silver and herbal teas and garlic and seamoss now, before supplies run out!
Entitled middle-aged suburbanites who think going a few weeks without a haircut and a trip to Applebee's is worse than getting a severe, debilitating, potentially fatal disease that can leave survivors disabled for life
Entitled twenty-something dudebro/basic bitch hipsters who don't care about the pandemic because c'mon man, it's not like young people are at risk anyway, and who cares about the boomers? Now let's hit up that beach party cause it's SPRING BREAK, WOOOOOOOOO
Hyper-contrarian anarchists and libertarians who are normally too busy on the internet to go out and spend time with real people, but suddenly feel compelled to have large gatherings now that it's prohibited because "fuck you I won't do what you tell me"
People who take the COVID-19 threat too seriously:
- President Rodrigo Duterte
