Or maybe we don't believe that there is going to be a miracle cure overnight. Most experts and governments have indicated that this is not going to be easy. They are saying it will take months before we are back to normal EVEN WITH therapeutics like hydroxychloroquine. Some people are desperately looking for anything to prevent the inevitable.

A month ago this entire thing was hoax from the MSM. Then it was nothing worse then the seasonal flu. Then it was only deadly to old people. Then people thought we could "fast track" a vaccine. Then there were people thinking that we had herd immunity already. Then people started looking at China and South Korea thinking that since they were through the worst of it, then we would soon be too. Then people looked at Sweden and assumed we could do the same. Now there is a miracle drug hydroxychloroquine.

I'm not saying it won't help, but it won't be enough to stop social distancing and prevent the economic downturn. Offering false hope isn't going to help anyone. If it is a magic bullet, then peer reviewed studies will indicate that in the coming months. And even if that is the case, there isn't enough supply to save us.
