It's all horse shite. This drama queen society should get a good cleanse at the very least.

For so many reasons that's beyond 20/20 hindsight. If China had the problem well before they reported, then the "early on" was a good bit earlier on than we even know.

why didn't we quarantine the elderly, sick, and health care professionals early on and provide them support.
The media will whore itself to any story that generates clicks and attention, and they could spin this to hurt trump so it’s a double whammy. Corona Virus is tailor made for cable news. If the virus wasn’t a big deal then people would tune out. It also takes heat of Joe Biden who they will protect at all costs.

The economy and everyone else could have trucked on along and gathered herd immunity.
The problem with that statement is we don't yet know the extent or length of the human immune response to COVID-19. Many of the immune responses to the coronavirus family are very short-lived. Going all-in on herd immunity could work or it could be devastating, we simply don't know enough about the antibody response to make that call on the medical facts.

It wouldn’t have mattered. You saw how many people on here thought this was a non-event just a week ago. You can’t make people be responsible.

Remember when Trump banned flights from China?
the same Trump who closed travel from the EU, but allowed travel from the UK...knowing the UK had just experienced their largest daily growth to date of the virus. Yea! I Nothing reminds us of failure in leadership like “Trump travel bans”

We didn't do enough, if any, early on. That's the problem.
The Democrats had Congress too busy chasing impeachment delusions to focus on the American public.

The only way this idea really works is if we set up some quarantine centers for these people to live in while the rest of us get sick and go about our lives. If a member of their family or anyone who cares for them get sick, they will almost certainly get sick as well, so they can't just live in houses with family or nursing homes where the staff goes back to their normal lives after work.

At risk of what, having the disease or dying from it? The infectious numbers of 19-64 year-old say otherwise. It's higher than the 65 plusers. That's the vast majority of people. Their percent of death is lower than the old folks but they are still carriers nonetheless.

1) China has not been forthcoming with information on this despite what some people want to believe.
2) if you count obesity as a risk factor, you are still bringing nearly half the workforce home depending on how you define it.
I think the uproar against Trump closing travel from China sealed out fates with this. He did the right thing and was getting crucified for it. Instead of being more aggressive, he became more hesitant and then others didn’t take anything seriously because they would just blame him if anything went wrong.

We cannot do what South Korea did without giving up a lot of rights in this country. A lot of what they did is illegal here.

Nats right. I believe Hong Kong and Singapore have done same. And of course China has done gosh knows what.

Exactly why shelter in place/Martial Law will not be effective. You said it yourself - if there's no long-lasting herd immunity with this virus, then 8 weeks after we all come out from hiding we're going to be right back where we are tonight.
There is no rationale for shutting the country down for this. Zero.

Should have quarantined the old and at risk while letting everyone else go about as normal. They catch it and build up the antibodies so that when everyone else gets out of quarantine it won’t spread to them.
Herd immunity.
Herd immunity.

It’s what I posted a few weeks back-but no politician had the balls to tell old, sick people to stay inside for a few months lest they be labeled as haters of the elderly and the ill in an election year.
