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.

"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...
Load More Replies...I live in Barcelona, Spain. We're quarantined. Madrid has about half of all coronavirus cases in Spain and what did the people do when the government announced they were shutting down all shops, gyms, etc.? They fled to the seaside: Valencia, Murcia... And of course they took the coronavirus with them. People are ignorant, selfish, and reckless. We all need to be responsible and stay in our freaking homes if we want to stop this.
You're right, and this happens everywhere. It's like everyone is 15 again and, if the government tells you NOT to do something, you suddenly feel the urge to DO it instead. People need to grow up.
Load More Replies...We have 30 cases starting 12 days ago in my Country at the moment. All of them...100% of them, are people who travelled to Italy (mostly) and other affected EU countries AFTER our government told them not to. We have already closed schools and all bars/restaurants are closing tomorrow. 30 doesn't sound like much in comparison to Italy but we are a tiny Med island with one hospital and 500,000 residents on the island. I am FURIOUS with these people. Their arrogance and complacency has put all our health and our economy at risk.
Comedy value is ISIS alledgedly advising its activists to avoid Europe now.
I think we should be worried. We should DEFINITELY be worried and this post proves that. But there's a fine line between being worried and being a straight-up a*****e and hoarding supplies that could go to others in need. Here in Arkansas we have 3 cases and already the toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and essential supplies are sold out. My heart goes out to y'all in heavily infected countries that are breaking under the fear of coronavirus. Stay safe <3
Stores need to take control of that hoarding. Anyone working at a store where they see someone buying unusual amounts of something and doesn't stop them is straight up immoral.
Load More Replies...I work in healthcare in Canada and we have had some very busy days with many sick people worried that they may have the corona virus coming to the hospitals. I hope with all the businesses etc closing for a few weeks we can really reduce the exposure
Who the f**k isn't taking this seriously now? Certainly everyone around here in WA State is.... and that seems to be the same for all other states in the US.
Stay strong my fellow Washingtonian. My brother works at the Everett Plant of Boeing where one of the assembly line workers was diagnosed. My brother wasn't exposed, but things are getting crazy up there. Got a friend that lives on Whidbey that is panicking that her elderly parents will be exposed. These little arrogant f***ers that are ignoring advise and running amok need to be arrested and jailed until the quarantine is over so the rest of us can stay safe. My husband said "That martial law." I said "Yep..and that might be what it will take to get the idiots under control!"
Load More Replies...I've encountered so many people in the past week where I live in the USA who are still in stage one. So frustrating. I'm a registered nurse trying to warn them, to save all our lives, and I'm being attacked in public and online as a "fear monger". One day they will look back on this. Obviously, not all of them.
