I never said it did. Just that viruses spread best in certain conditions. We can't close down society for 2 years.

There's an acceptable level of death. We can't aim for zero, because the restrictions would be more devastating. We allow a certain amount of death with the flu each year without shutting down. So it's a balance to keep the amount of cases/deaths at a reasonable level while lifting as many restrictions as possible.

It's unfair to saddle our young people with a lifetime of debt, another crap economy, years of no jobs, all to save the lives of 'boomers', many who are already sick and may not live long enough to see another President, coronavirus or not.

I've seen estimates of 130 million people potentially dying of famine caused by food shortages from this shut down. Some countries have stopped exporting basics like grain. If you thought the PPE hoarding by governments was bad.. things may be a lot worse come this winter, when it is expected that this pandemic will kick into overdrive.

We need to get back to work and begin preparing for the second wave.

Which would be people who got sick before reopening. As long as they focus on flattening the curve, everything ok. bsbbtnh Apr 28, 11:43

If it's not flat now with stay-at-home order, how is it going to stay flat when people go out in masses. {nm} Antibody Apr 28, 11:57

We don't want no transmission, we want a level we can sustain. And weather plays a role in transmission rates {nm} bsbbtnh Apr 28, 12:53

Tropical countries Singapore, Ecuador, and Brazil are getting wrose. {nm} Antibody Apr 28, 13:21

Yes, even tropical countries get flu season. Singapore is just entering, Ecuador just exiting. Brazil I think in middle. bsbbtnh Apr 28, 14:02

"flu season" doesn't kill 55k people in two months, even in the face of a virtual shutdown of society. unchecked, it would be exponentially tentin quarentino Apr 28, 15:39

SOME viruses spread best in certain conditions. If you're talking about warmer weather, then why is it flouirshing in warmer climates now? {nm} JDolphin Apr 28, 21:46

In 2018/2019 "the flu" killed 34,000 for the whole season and infected 39 milllion with a death rate of onl 1/10 of 1 percent. If COVID JDolphin Apr 28, 22:06
