What we're trying to do right now is bite a one month bullet to prevent aftershocks at least until we know we have effective treatment.

Yeah, so let's pack them into a confined space and get the virus spread appropriately! MAGA!!
You realize this is the opposite of what MAGA is saying, right?

The unchecked spread of Covid can turn a one month shutdown into 9 months to a year of a slow bleed.
We are doing the slow bleed approach.

then we do nothing but remind people to wash hands and stay home when sick

And 90% of those are preventable in some fashion. This is also preventable and the government has a chance to install measures to mitigate it,

No, I'm currently working from home, in a job that I have zero chance of losing. I consider myself very, very fortunate.
But unlike you, I'm thinking of the majority of the people out there who aren't as fortunate as me.
That's the difference between you and I.

My employment, like most others, won't last with this being dragged on for months & months. The quicker this is over, the quicker everyone can go back to normal. That won't happen so long as people take a lackadaisical approach to it.
That's the situation we're in.
A one off freedom fighter (even if it's kind of silly) is fine and admirable in some ways. However, a number of them that spike transmission and put us in a really bad spot only prolongs this shite for everyone else.

Give conspiracy theories a rest.
There is no "criteria" because it is an evolving situation. We don't know how effectively we'll stop the spread. We don't know the economic impact.
If you don't think the quarantine idea is to take immediate, strong action to prevent a worse outcome over a prolonged period, what do you think the idea is?

You are doing the same thing by your actions encouraging the spread of a virus that is killing people.
The virus is still going to be out there when we emerge from our self-imposed house arrests whenever we "flatten the curve." And if it comes back in the fall when we still don't have a vaccine, are we to repeat this song and dance once more?

Sounds like you like you some government. Maybe they assign a guy to tell you when to pee or take the trash out.

So now that I’ve got you agreeing to my communist terms, do you also understand that quarantines slow this process? I notice you didn’t acknowledge that post of mine. Scruffy mentioned it too. We aren’t trying to deal with this quickly. That was never the goal. You’ll never see a scientist or politician claim this is going to be over faster with what we are doing. Their singular goal from the start has been protecting the hospitals. That results in a LONGER quarantine period.

This is dangerous thought and I am perfectly okay with people like you being shot.
If you are going about like nothing is happening, you are an a-hole. We all have to make trips to the store. Buy a little more and limit the amount of times you visit. The quickest way to eradicate this thing is to lay low. Jesus this board is stupid

This can't be done at every other store as well
Lolz. The cost of freedom is certainly high.
You have to survive amongst ignoramuses like those upvoting this thread.
Grocery stores are an exception bc you have to eat to survive (although more than half of Americans could probably stand to miss a month's worth of meals). The risk of still being infected there is known and a calculated one and not something suddenly discovered by a random thread-starting Bama fan
. If every store does it, that's too many exceptions to make a difference with regard to social distancing. We may as well have no restrictions, and the virus will, according to the data we have, overwhelm hospitals and lead to far more casualties and probably a negligible difference in economic circumstance.

And this is why you can't find any paper or sanitation products in most grocery stores.
Because everyone "bought a little more"
