Twitter user Jason Yanowitz listed the stages that Italy went through during the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country by referring to a Reddit thread by an Italian citizen. He urged people to realize that the situation is more serious than some believe and he suggested that what we see in Italy can soon become the norm in other countries over the world.
Yano’s post got over 228k likes and was retweeted more than 133.8k times, showing that it struck a chord with other Twitter users who are concerned about the pandemic. Commentators thought that Jason’s outline of the stage-by-stage process that took place in Italy was “eye-opening.”

Bored Panda spoke to Jason about his Twitter thread. He told us that he feels frustrated that the people in the US aren’t taking the coronavirus situation seriously. That’s what inspired him to create his Twitter thread: “Storytelling drives action, and this story hits hard.” He also revealed that he has friends in Italy and that they are currently “terrified.”
Jason told us that he feels pessimistic about the US’ capability to stop the coronavirus. “Testing everyone is the only way to stop coronavirus. This means 300M+ tests per day, which requires a significant paradigm shift in how we’re currently doing it.”
“Doctors and nurses are very mission-driven”
While Italians are under quarantine and the illness keeps spreading, doctors and nurses are working overtime on the frontlines in the fight against the coronavirus. Bored Panda reached out to Doctors in Italy, a platform that helps people find English-speaking doctors in the country, to talk about how the country’s doctors are dealing with the crisis.
“Doctors and nurses are very mission-driven and this helps them stay focused in times of great stress,” a representative from Doctors in Italy told us.
“They have, for once, tremendous recognition from all the general population, who usually love to criticize. Now that they are under such pressure, everyone realizes how much we all depend on their care and work,” the representative revealed how Italians are thankful for the work that medical professionals are doing
“They can nurture their hope and sense of mission, by focusing on the daily wins, even if small, and face this emergency one day at a time—though many have lost count of which day it is,” Doctors in Italy said about how medical staff can help themselves keep going even when they’re exhausted and overworked.
However, can doctors and nurses tell Italians anything to reassure them and calm their worries? “When your own health is involved, or when worried about loved ones, very little reassurance can come from numbers. Percentages won’t help reassure anyone about their own chances.”
“On the other hand, even little gestures of human compassion and care can make a great difference. Many are worried that hospitals will be overcrowded and they won’t get enough attention, so letting them know that they are being considered helps a lot. Even simply saying that they care—and we know they do—goes a long way,” Doctors in Italy told us what medical professionals can do to help alleviate people’s worries.
This is how Twitter users reacted to Jason’s thread about the situation in Italy

Mindblowing: Orla’s tweet that “I understand this is serious but by tweeting this out you are scaring people”.1. No, no I don’t think you understand how serious this really is. 2. Call me crazy, but I don’t think there is any other way to warn people except to give them information that is scary. That’s why it’s called a Warning.
Fear is important. Without fear, people take no action.
Agreed, it's not scaring people, it is telling them a series of facts. Just because they arw hard to swallow doesn't make them any less true.
Jessica Lee Custard ?
yes well I don't think fear is necessary, but we must have some of the following: strong cognitive empathy, understand right from wrong, rule of law, and not be selfish.

Actually fear makes people take the dumbest actions they possibly could. Fear is panic.
Maybe fear isn't the right word. Respecting the risk and taking appropriate actions. When I cross the street, I look both ways, not because I am afraid of cars, but because i know they can easily kill me. We try to understand the risk, then consider our options. It is why we wear seatbelts. Am I afraid getting into a car accident? Absolutely. But I know how I can increase the odds in my favor. The first step toward a long life is understanding the risks that lay ahead
Orla is one of those idiots who will ignore the warning and eventually do something that worsens the situation. Let's get a grip on what this lock down is, we're still in preventive measures. The WHO declaration of a pandemic means we're reaching a tipping point where things blow out of control, and if we're don't do something this drastic, we're going to be seeing societal collapse. Take it seriously and do what needs to be done to contain the current situation, but don't devolve into crazy stupidity.
I agree Kazza. Just emphasizing why to stay the F at home shouldn’t scare anybody’s.

I live in the North of Italy: HE. IS. RIGHT.
Please take care, God bless you and keep you all safe.
Thank you, i really appreciate it
Praying for you and everyone affected by this virus. Please stay safe and let's hope that medical professionals can develop a vaccine and get this under control as soon as possible. <3
Sending you love from Louisiana! Hope you stay healthy <3
Thanks a lot!
@SarraR I can't deal with this ranting anymore, like yes, I watch the news I know it's not just elderly and I know it has deeper effects on immunocompromised people but thank you for the book!! I am logging off of social media today too many hysterical people acting like goddamn 40+ year medical research professionals. 11 years as a nurse aint shit, I had a nurse the other day post on FB that this shit isn't any worse than the flu...... there's a professional nurse with no common sense, that career title means shit.
Unfortunately Italy has an older population, which has contributed greatly to their numbers. We should all be conscious of the spread and helping each other out, but here we go again with the inhumanity and selfishness that many humans are made out of.
Woah!! Calm down and go write a book since you feel like writing lol
Me too. But his virus came from China to Germany and from Germany to Italy :-(
..anf from italy to romania -_-

"Who let the dogs out" that was great. But in all seriousness, this is getting scary. In all my years on this planet (38) I have never seen anything like it. My family and I did NOT panic, did not run out and buy 75 packs of toilet paper and now that we are legit on our last roll can't get any. People need to get a friggin grip. I get being scared, I work in Law Enforcement which means I don't get to work from home. I don't get to "be quarantined" and if I do, that means most likely getting stuck in the prison I work at. But to panic is just putting others in danger. Even if we are quarantined, 200 rolls of toilet paper isn't going to help you. Thanks for taking it for everyone else too. NO one needs that much for a 30 day quarantine IF it comes to that. No one is using a roll a day. and if you are you have bigger problems. And wipes and diapers. There are poor babies that are gonna need that stuff. Im sad for this nation.
Honestly, don't be sad for your nation... Idiots like these are everywhere. America, Europe for sure, probably Asia too. Some people are just greedy and worthless and try to profit off of these difficult and scary times...
Yeah it is true but at the same time we needs to take preventive measures against it

I’m 75 and have never seen anything like the panic and greed that we have now ! On the other hand I have a neighbour who has been checking to see if I and others may need help ! Plus our small local shop has offered to deliver to any over 70 if needed ! These are really good people ! Stay safe everyone !
Quarantining yourself at a prison is mass murder. You should free the prisoners and lock yourself up. You're willing to commit more murders than all the prisoners committed combined. Murder is murder whether you are paid to do it or not. Whether you are ordered to or not. Your prison is a modern day death camp. Your governments policy is to murder their undesirables. They are using you as the pawn, while they sit safely in quarantine.
Ok - why don't you post your phone number - better yet, email the prisons and offer to take 10-30 of their prisoners. You can put Tom the pedo/rapist in your son's room, Jose, Frankie, Juan & Kyrell in with your teenager - they're just gangbangers & drug dealers, they've only killed other criminals. Jeff, the man who murdered his entire family can stay with your parents, along with Kenny the serial rapist who preyed on old women & Tianna & Desmonda who bilked the elderly out of nearly a million dollars. Erik who killed his wife to be with his lover, Nicole who put her kids in Rubbermaid containers sealed with duct tape and set them afloat on the river because she wanted their life insurance to get a boob job, Jazelle who microwaved her infant to punish her ex husband - you've got room for all of them, right? Surely they're good people who just made bad choices and certainly don't deserve to get sick, right? If you think prisons are so inhumane, what are YOU doing to change that?
