What’s the alternative?
Probably not mandate businesses shut down. Yes, there are trade offs for everything.
Now everyone is packed into large big box/grocery stores, which makes "social distancing" even more difficult.
One constant reality is the unintended consequences of government action is normally as bad or worse than the original fear.

A week or 2, yeah fricking right. Nothing will have substantively changed 2 or 3 months from now to make it “safer” to live normally.

Then you make over 75k a year. So you can either handle the time off, or you’re stupid about money and living outside your means.

This isnt really true at all unless we are talking 1-2 weeks. Anything longer most people are screwed.

If y’all had just done the social distance shite it wouldn’t have come to this, but y’all said frick that, but muh freedoms! For weeks and fricked the rest of us. Just stay home and quit bitching so we can be done with this shite already, god.

Government issues strong recommendations which wouldn’t be adhered to enough to make a significant difference, so our healthcare system gets absolutely creamed for a few months, and over a million die. Hopefully society would continue to function normally otherwise, but when ambulances take hours instead of minutes, it takes days to remove dead bodies from homes, doctors start dying and just giving up, and it’s near impossible to get decent medical attention, the idea of a civil society would be tested.
Analysts are projecting Q2 GDP could shrink anywhere’s from 5-14%. That means economic losses equal to between 30-80% of the entire US healthcare industry.
With a cost that high, do you really think we couldn’t have mitigated the impact to hospitals?

It’s not right to ask someone to stay home and not work
Happens all the time at my work when someone’s gets sick. Stay home if you’re sick.

You've probably been to Walmart 3 times this week looking for toilet paper.

I bought toilet paper at sams like 2 months ago because I’m a normal responsible person, and I’m not sick, but I am now** out of work for the foreseeable future because the rest of these fricks couldn’t stay home and wash their hands on a regular basis.

If there was a better way we could handle this, a way that didn’t tank our economy so badly while also not causing a healthcare capacity catastrophe, Trump would be making it happen or at least doing everything in his power to make it happen.

Well, consider yourself lucky. A lot of people are out of work.

Two weeks ago he was tweeting this: quote:
So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

You looked at the price of oil lately?

Sure have but that doesn’t change anything short term for me.
Eta and that has nothing to do with CV
