Link? Link to those numbers as they relate to hospital capacity?

Sickness happens. If you’re scared wash your hands a lot and limit your time outside your house. Don’t force businesses to close because you can’t handle your own fears.

What’s your solution? Because at this point, after I’ve gotten the virus, I sure as frick don’t want to go through it again.

Then stay the frick home. No one is telling you to go out and expose yourself

But I’m done with this bullshite.

Here's a solution:
Let the virus run it's course and burn itself out.
If you are high risk or elderly then stay on lock down by your own choice.

I think you can simultaneously be concerned about the virus as well as mayors and governors making unilateral decisions to eliminate someone’s livelihood

There’s a lot of stupid people and people will just go about their day like there’s nothing wrong. That’s not going to help

That’s not a solution. How do we curb these numbers?

Do we just ignore all of this?

YES. You let nature take its godamn course as it has for millions of years and for all the epidemics of years past. I'd rather just get the virus at this point than live under constant restrictions.
