I'll start worrying when it gets to SARS or Swine Flu levels of outbreak. Heck even ebola wasn't all that worrying for anybody in the west.

To be fair, back in January it wasn't unreasonable to be not overly worried about this after seeing how Ebola and SARS played out. Definitely by March I was more than concerned as lockdown was already in effect in my country. Thankfully we acted much earlier thanmany other countries and avoided being steamrolled like the US and UK did. Not to discount the thousands that have died of course but I feel like us actually listening to the public health officials actually spared us much hardship. I was heavily involved in the preparations, evacuations and contingency planning for the covid response these past few months. I've also been doing swabbing duties for weeks now. I've seen some crazy poo poo I never thought I'd see. One of the more noteworthy ones: We were tasked with bringing a covid positive patient to a nursing home that agreed to act as a covid facility. This particular patient was late 80's multiple health problems and end of life. I was in full hazmat PPE for the journey. 10 mins out we pre alerted and asked them to be ready. When we brought the patient inside literally all the staff were just milling around serving dinners, doing the med rounds etc in zero PPE, all the other home residents were also walking the hallways. When we arrived at the covid wing two nurses, one of whom was the nurse manager met us. They were wearing zero PPE. No gloves, no gowns, not even a mask. I said "do you not have PPE? I can give you some". The nurses replied, oh I'll be fine..... I insisted she wear at least a mask and gloves which she reluctantly sigh'd and put one on. After the handover the two nurses bitched as we were walking out. "they seem to think we needed PPE hahaha smh". I reported them to the public health body. Got a phone call one week later: "Oh hi, yeah thanks for telling us about that. You actually flagged a huge outbreak. Since the report, there has been over 60 new infections in the nursing home, and 13 deaths in 7 days." There's now a legal investigation taking place.
