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.

This is how Twitter users reacted to Jason’s thread about the situation in Italy

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Mindblowing: Orla’s tweet that “I understand this is serious but by tweeting this out you are scaring people”.1. No, no I don’t think you understand how serious this really is. 2. Call me crazy, but I don’t think there is any other way to warn people except to give them information that is scary. That’s why it’s called a Warning.

Fear is important. Without fear, people take no action.

Maybe fear isn't the right word. Respecting the risk and taking appropriate actions. When I cross the street, I look both ways, not because I am afraid of cars, but because i know they can easily kill me. We try to understand the risk, then consider our options. It is why we wear seatbelts. Am I afraid getting into a car accident? Absolutely. But I know how I can increase the odds in my favor. The first step toward a long life is understanding the risks that lay ahead

Orla is one of those idiots who will ignore the warning and eventually do something that worsens the situation. Let's get a grip on what this lock down is, we're still in preventive measures. The WHO declaration of a pandemic means we're reaching a tipping point where things blow out of control, and if we're don't do something this drastic, we're going to be seeing societal collapse. Take it seriously and do what needs to be done to contain the current situation, but don't devolve into crazy stupidity.

I agree Kazza. Just emphasizing why to stay the F at home shouldn’t scare anybody’s.

Unfortunately Italy has an older population, which has contributed greatly to their numbers. We should all be conscious of the spread and helping each other out, but here we go again with the inhumanity and selfishness that many humans are made out of.

"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...

I’m 75 and have never seen anything like the panic and greed that we have now ! On the other hand I have a neighbour who has been checking to see if I and others may need help ! Plus our small local shop has offered to deliver to any over 70 if needed ! These are really good people ! Stay safe everyone !

Quarantining yourself at a prison is mass murder. You should free the prisoners and lock yourself up. You're willing to commit more murders than all the prisoners committed combined. Murder is murder whether you are paid to do it or not. Whether you are ordered to or not. Your prison is a modern day death camp. Your governments policy is to murder their undesirables. They are using you as the p**n, while they sit safely in quarantine.
