Old people die every year from the flu, yes this might turn out to be worse but what else can be done without butt fricking us all.
Imagine writing this and thinking you’re not dumb as frick. What a stupid take.
Yet you didn’t refute it. What did I say can you prove isn’t factual or at least plausible?

we have antivirals and vaccines to help treat/prevent.
We didn’t have a H1N1 vaccine for 10 months after the outbreak.

quote:Yes, it takes time to develop a vaccine, normally over a year. But since swine flu is part of the influenza A genera, we had a good baseline and knowledge on how to engineer that vaccine. We also immediately had antivirals like Tamiflu which had proven effective on previous influenza A viruses.

You're comparing apples with potatoes. Yeah, both are edible and can be mashed, but similarities end shortly after that

Researchers at LSU’s School of Veterinary Medicine are working to stop it. “It’s highly likely that what we are producing will be quite protective against COVID-19,” Gus Kousoulas, PhD, head of the Department of Pathobiological Sciences at LSU said.

Then after months of this, if the results are favorable and it proves to be effective enough, the FDA will approve it to be mass produced. The process is the majority of a year, if not longer

or own a small business are going to do
I own a small business. I have a team on the west coast right now assembling to do a two week project. They're to go to work and go to the hotel and order in. I want them presented to as little risk as possible. They are all young.
When they return I'm suspending business that requires travel. We will work on local projects only. It looks like all of our federal projects will be suspended by the government. We'll focus on local commercial projects. Hopefully those will be enough to get us through.
My company is a blue collar company. We do commerical cabling and data center work so working from home for most of my team is not an option.
It's going to hurt my company and it may have long term affects. I could be one of those guys going to the SBA looking for help. If so, maybe they will and maybe they won't. Either way I'll survive.

Again life > jobs. They’ve run models already with the spread rate and severe case rate. It will overwhelm hospitals if measures aren’t taken.
Life > jobs
I've got some bad news for you, homeslice. Modern life as we know it - including "life", however you want to define it - requires robust economic activity.
That government stimulus you were talking about? Guess what that requires? Taxes. Which require economic activity. Which require a sober cost-benefit analysis relevant to medical technology, lethality, quality-adjusted life years, VSL, and so on and so on. Not some hysteria about "life>jobs".
The OP has a fair question, and that answer isn't nearly as simple as "life>jobs". An economic freeze has enormous costs all on its own (including lives). Think through the problem a little more instead of hysterical posting.
