What, exactly, do you think happens to our insurance companies if they have to pay out for cat 5 hurricanes in every city in the country?
Because that’s what will happen if our ICU’s are full of 30-50 somethings.
I see your point though.
YOU are high risk so YOU want the luxury of staying at home to avoid the virus.
HOWEVER, YOU want everyone ELSE to get back to work because YOUR portfolio is suffering.
Narc somewhere else please.
We will all suffer if there is no jobs.
Stay home if you are scared.
I isolated my family two weeks before they ordered it.
One person can restart a pandemic again. The US orders isolation for three weeks. The incubation period is up to 21 days. A person could contract it on week 2.5, and spread it once again .
Our isolation techniques is not perfect. People are still socializing. You cannot shut everyone down, it does not work, and then it restarts again.
With no economy, who is going to pay for the healthcare system?
“HOWEVER, YOU want everyone ELSE to get back to work because YOUR portfolio is suffering.”
I think a lot of the rage about how this is unconstitutional, over reacting, the cure is worse than the disease, etc. is coming from well funded people who are physically protected themselves, they know they won’t get the virus, but their companies are suffering, and they want everyone to go back to work.
They understand the problem, they just prefer the “burn through” approach. They probably prefer martial law, too, to keep things intact during the process.
Total fatalities is not their concern. They are wiling to have more fatalities in order to get their companies back online sooner.
They are already looking forward to and planning on the investments they can make during the rebuilding phase.
