Let the most susceptible confine themselves — you think the Chinese and the Germans didn’t think of that?

And the most susceptible 65+ and/or with health issues are nearly half of the American adult population (health issues: cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, respiratory problems). You want them all to stay home of course. Ok - and the people who take care of them? They need to be isolated as well, right?

Among the rest - 0.2% of the 70% who get infected, die. So say that’s 70% of the 100 million non-ill, non-old, above 20 Americans. 70 million. 0.2% of those die - that’s 140,000 productive people. That’s separate from flu numbers (which hit the old and weak).
