People Fleeing Coronavirus Head to a New Safe Haven: China

A simple google search provides these articles. Seems rather normal to me. I think its human nature to want to escape bad situations.

Thank you for providing the link, most of the people are moving to their second homes that are in less populated areas, or taking their camping equipment with them to rural areas ..

Thankfully its not the dystopian type of "fleeing" that is occurring, such as hundreds of thousands of people moving across their countries, ransacking and killing people....The Denzel Washington Movie, The Book of Eli, sprang to my mind when I read your excellent posting ...

I found about this because a guy that rents out spaces on AIRBNB told me... he says that people are booking for months instead of a weekend places that are far away. Up in the hills where there is no internet and no cable and the want to bring DVD to see. Ah yes., strange times we are in. People are heading for the hills - LITERALLY!

There are some interesting aspects I noticed so far.
There were specialists who said that this virus will eventually infect about 80% - 85% of the earth population anyway, that it is not a matter of if but rather a matter of when. I think this makes sense, if we look at each country charts. From all available data made public by health officials all over the world, it seems that the immense majority of those infected will get out of this and live (category 1), the rest of about 2% in average (of those infected) will not make it and die (category 2).
Nevertheless, category 1 is somehow divided as well – the immense majority of them catch the virus but have a strong immune system, a strong body and create antibodies by themselves, some, after curing, do not even know they had the virus because the symptoms and effects were much milder than a regular flu, not even needing hospitalization .. and .. the rest of them (very few) who seem to be immune and not catch the virus at all. So, what is to be noticed about this, is that the period of time in which people in some certain communities are infected should preferably be as long as possible, so that the health system does not get crowded all at once and run out of beds or other medical equipment. I think that the whole population figured this out already and understood this.
Let us look again at the numbers, in order to gain a little optimism:
2% of 80% means 1.6% of the whole.
98.4% of our species has a strong enough immune system to fight and defeat the virus – which is not bad. In 2nd world war there were much more than 1.6% who died in those communities involved in the war. So, it is reasonable to assume that there is indeed “something” behind this whole virus story, as to me it seems it is the first time when the whole world is affected (not only some certain communities).
Now we somehow have the whole picture .. yet, ALL the governments in the world seem to take the same actions (political and especially social) – they keep people indoors, they display force by getting military personnel on the streets, they threaten the population with prison (in some cases) if not obeying the rules THEY set, bringing up the excuse that the virus is spreading too fast to act otherwise. Yes, I agree, it is spreading ridiculously fast, it spread around the whole world practically in a matter of days .. but as most people already understood what and how this virus operates, to me it seems somehow out of line to keep all those restrictions for an unjustified long time. Look at China – at first, people were angry and dissatisfied, but they understood relatively quickly the whole situation, most of them (especially in the heaviest infected region) applied social distancing by their own will .. and now China is getting back on track.
For me, the most bothering aspect about this, is that the rulers consider us (regular people) stupid.
Anyway, I am confident that we will soon get out of this and then, that “something” behind the whole story will show almost by itself, people will learn the truth - THEY know it .. and what is frightening about this, is “what THEY have in plan when this will be over and we will become aware of what THEY did (to us) ???”
