Open shite back up.

the virus is fatal to a very select, albeit not exclusive, group. Make them shelter in place. Let the rest of us go back to making the country viable and prosperous.
but most importantly, let the individual make the decision on what he/she needs to do. Not doctors, politicians, or committees. This is insanity.

That's not how it works dude. Tell us how to separate HIGH risk from others....
Okay frick youre right.
Lets all go broke and become homeless to keep Grandpappy from catching a virus that may or may not kill him.
Seems logical.

The high risk individuals aren’t the problem.
It’s people like you that spread it. We are trying to contain the spread. Not contain the high risk individuals.

Ok now you are being stupid and selfish.

Cool.
40k people died from suicide in the Great Depression. That'd be rookie numbers if it happened again.

The plan is is to have a treatment or vaccine by then.

It's been not worth it.

you're not going to contain it without a vaccine. Its a virus. You cant contain them. YOu can only manage them.
But you can do more harm than good trying to manage or contain them.

I don't think you realize what's really going on with this thing. Look at the numbers.

what field of infectious medicine or pandemic planning and mapping are you in currently?

A depression will affect millions more than this will.
I don't think you understand that.

They don't. They are only interested in this.

What keeps the healthcare system from crashing if the economy does?

Poor form to answer a question with another question.
Posted on 4/3/20 at 3:25 pm to SidewalkTiger
I have never said that people aren't suffering because of this . But if we crank things up right now just because YOU want that would be a mistake . Do like the rest of us and hunker down.

For the time being the objective is is to slow the spread. Yes there will be a point in time everyone will eventually get it, but until there’s a treatment they want to contain the spread.
