My granny is 82 and hasnt had to work in decades. I don’t need a government forced shut down to keep her healthy.
agreed lets start an incremental return to normalcy. let kids go to summer school, open up barbershops etc. hold off on 80k in a stadium for a bit.
You’re a day late and a dollar short as usual. When the virus first hit you were right going on a ventilator was fairly hopeless. However with time provided by the isolation we were able to find what worked better. https://reason.com/2020/04/16/antiviral-is-reportedly-effective-in-treating-severe-cases-of-covid-19/. and what didn’t https://reason.com/2020/04/16/hydroxychloroquine-trial-for-treating-covid-19-disappoints/ The lives flattening saves may be your own or @shane0911 or @HalloweenRun
We have a different definition of emergency then. There are many other things that kill more this shit, yet they are not emergencies.
Again it’s not just deaths that are the problem. It’s that CV-19 is much more transmissible, requires more hospitalization and is deadlier. Remember when it first hit there was NO treatment that was certain. It’s the combination of the four that made it an emergency.
The problem with your theory Winston is that the US, and the world, was months behind anyway. China lied and kept this a secret. By the time anyone did anything, the infection was already at peak.
the true numbers aren’t a significant difference. And the outliers aren’t what matter. This thing is gonna infect just as many as it would have before. It’s just a matter of time. Use this time to up your immune systems I suppose. But effectively the same mortality rate once all is said and done.
