You do realize that it is because of some of these at risk people that you are free to post your opinions on this board.

Because it is completely tone deaf and not based in reality.

There are plenty of elderly and sick individuals that are not capable of protecting themselves and/or able to make decisions. Many also don’t have the means/support to get assistance.
The reason we are not running as normal is that the virus has shown to spread easily. These precautions are buying us time to help prevent the spread of the virus for as long as possible.
Italy is a great example of what happens when you just let things “run as normal”. Their system got overwhelmed quite quickly.

That’s what some don’t get. Health care facilities will be overloaded. I have family that’s working in a hospital right now. Not a fun place to be as it is. I couldn’t imagine if people were roaming around like normal right now.

Better than closing every “nonessential” business in the country

Absolutely ridiculous that we cannot have a quarantine for at risk individuals. It should not be my responsibility to make sure YOU do not get sick.

I 100% believe that businesses would allow those individuals to make accommodations to prevent themselves from getting sick.
If 75 year old granny decides to say frick it and go to Walmart (as I have seen over the past week) then why should I care if something happens to her when she ignores all of the precautions?
Open things up, quarantine at risk individuals, let Darwin's theory of natural selection take place for those that ignore
If you are not in that group you have no idea what they are going through. Many of our elderly do not have the same family support system as others. For many, that trip to the market may be their main social contact with the world and it is worse when you are isolated as with this virus. I think it is up to EVERYONE ELSE to keep their distance from the elderly folks at the store and move out of the way to let them check out first.

I don't think you realize the long-term economic effects of collapsing the American healthcare system.
Right now absolutely sucks, like terribly, but it is temporary.

I don't understand. You want people to be responsible for themselves and take care of themselves yet you simultaneously have a problem with an old lady buying her own groceries?
Just go ahead and admit you are a selfish, whiny little bitch who's throwing a tantrum and stop trying to dress it up in arguments about personal responsibility.

You are a moron.
First of all, we are already seeing hospitals being filled to capacity. So you want business to go on as usual so that even more people can get sick which would mean there would be people not getting treated. If that happens then there will be more people dying... Who are not just the old and people with underlying health issues.
And while YOU might take responsibility, YOU don't know if others are being responsible. My daddy used to always tell me "Its not you I don't trust, its other people I don't trust".
To stop this aggressive action is being taken because its best to have a temporary disruption than this be something that will have a longterm impact.
But its good to know you are naive enough to think everyone will do their part.

So old people should take the necessary step of quarantining themselves so you don't have to take the necessary step of quarantining yourself?
It staggers me you don't see how you're demanding something of others so you don't have to do it yourself.

Ok.
I'm sorry you don't know how to save money or diet and exercise.
Being poor and fat must suck.
