There are many, many folks that high risk factors, you can't just drop everyting and decide that they won't be affected. Untill there is at least a reasonable beliefe that this can be controlled via a vacine then you have to continue to protect the parts of our civilization that have the potential of highest impact, i.e. death.

I get it there are folks without jobs and businessare going to fail. Just so happens that goes on when there isn't a pandimic on.

I don't mean to be insensitive but you started it, > "Some will get sick, and some will die." I am saying that you are in fact offering to gamble with other people's lives as your stake.

the fatality rate would be exponentially higher if the extreme social distancing measures weren't imposed, dum dum {nm} tentin quarentino Apr 20, 11:03

That is not a given. We have no idea how many are truly infected, so the current mortality rate ls likely much lower than currently {nm} Nobody Apr 20, 11:16

You are "forgetting" the additional casualties from hospitals being overloaded and medical workers dieing. {nm} DTravel Apr 20, 11:20

We are far more prepared now. Its a risk but we cannot lock down forever. Waiting for a vaccine is futile. No coronavirus Nobody Apr 20, 11:28

too late. the time for these calculations was in January, which plenty of other countries made the right call on. they're reopening tentin quarentino Apr 20, 11:37

The states are responsible for their people. Were they prepared? Blame Trump all you like but that is the reality. {nm} Nobody Apr 20, 11:43

The states are not responsible. The Federal Government is the structure for the country's national emergencies. The Feds should lead and Catzan Apr 20, 15:22
