Probably because it hasn't had a huge effect on their day to day lives. Not everyone has stopped working, afterall, and you'd be surprised how used to sitting at home all day some people are.

Point being, just hearing that a situation is serious isn't going to get a serious reaction from everyone.

The only way Trump is going to take it seriously is when he gets the virus himself.

There's a bird that lives on one my porch pillars and has direct sight of me in my living room at all times. This is making too much sense now. I was joking at first but now I'm not sure

How seriously are people supposed to take it? Some areas are more impacted than others. The death rate is still relatively low and apparently lower than people originally thought.

Do you actually expect people to literally just stay at home and do absolutely nothing for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 months? Especially those in areas that aren't heavily impacted areas?

This is a dumb question. Literally all you need to do is listen to your governors and mayors. They're not all operating the same exact way. We didn't have a stay-at-home order in my city until 3 days ago. And nobody's saying "stay home and do absolutely nothing". When you do need to leave, whether it's because of essential errands or work, maintain safe and hygienic practices.

It's not a dumb question, because most of the country is already shut down. There are no dine in restaurants, movie theaters, and many retail places are closed. Essentially, there are no public gatherings unless people do them on their own--- so that's why I asked. How serious is this to be taken? Do I not see any of my friends for months? Do I not go over to their homes or them come to mine? That is what many of these orders are implying.

There are people that aren't taking it seriously, throwing parties and having large gatherings. Obviously he's talking about those people and not you.
