"To The Rest Of The World, You Have No Idea What's Coming"

Twitter user Jason Yanowitz listed the stages that Italy went through during the outbreak of the coronavirus in the country. 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.”

but do you really trust our federal government, led by Trump, to do what must be done to contain the spread? Not to mention that we have young people and conspiracy theorists who refuse to social distance, potentially spreading the virus far and wide.
