This question was originally posted on Quora.com and was answered by Clanton Sim, Ph.D Philosophy & Economics, University of California, Irvine (2019) Our inept California governor issued a statewide shelter-in-place order on Thursday of last week. This is Huntington Beach on Sunday yesterday: We are so stupid here in California that the city had to remove the hoops from basketball courts just to stop the public from playing. Miami isn’t the only city that’s ignoring this pandemic. It’s being ignored everywhere in the US it seems. Well, we’ll receive our wake-up call soon enough. And was answered also by Vivian Huang, studies at Middle Schools (2024) Take a look at this: (Florida, 2020) Now, take a look at this: (Wuhan 2020) Also, take a look at this: (Italy 2020) Do me a favor, and look outside. What is the difference? In the first two pictures, we can see in Florida, college kids, who are well aware of the pandemic, still go out to the beach to have fun and party and socialize. And then look at the picture in Wuhan. Completely empty. In several countries around the world, those people are disinfecting the streets, yet here in America, no one is doing so. Laziness? Maybe. America not being serious enough? Yes. Not even our president is taking it seriously. The result? We have the largest number of confirmed cases worldwide. That is certainly not something to be proud of. Source
