While one Italian mayor is threatening to kill, yes literally kill, anyone who leaves his house, US political leaders have mixed views of this deadly Virus that is growing exponentially every day in the US. In Italy 500 people are dying daily to this tragic plague. Since the US has six times the population of Italy, that would be the equivalent of over 3,000 deaths per day here.

While the the US politicians waffle, some citizens have taken matters into their own hands and defied all medical advice. Yesterday a televised golf game showed a multitude of people pressed against the course, all presumably sucking up each other air germs, not to mention sneezing and coughing on one another. Why didn't they watch it on TV? Say what you will about the vapid TV programing, no one ever caught so much as a cold watching it, much less a deadly virus.

For many who have not quite "gotten there yet" on how serious a deadly virus is, confining oneself to home and safety, may sound unthinkable, but consider the alternative suffering that refusing to take caution will cause. I suspect that many people will be "Darwined" out by this virus for their false bravery and unbelievable stupidity. Stay home and confine yourself or or go out and mix in with crowds and you will risk a horrendous forced confinement in a hospital and possible death.
