If you saw a train rushing toward you at full speed, would you move as quickly as possible to avoid a crash, or would you say, well more people die from car crashes than trains, so no big deal?

Preparation is fine. Avoiding a train is the right thing to do.

I am saying that is corona is a train then car deaths is an ICBM missile headed for a large metropolitan area.

I am suggesting the response is very disproportionate.

I appreciate that they are trying to head off corona. But even with vaccines and long known patterns we don’t head off the flu to the thousands of more numbers. It is straining at gnats and swallowing camels.

Or, it is avoiding a busy crosswalk while accepting riding your bike for miles on a busy freeway.

Some people insist on playing in traffic because the road hasn’t been busy before.
