Why then, is everyone on this thread disagreeing with Scarborough even as most of us agree with his premise?
If the possibility does not exist that the health care system will break down and with that breakdown not only will healthcare professionals be affected but whole swaths of population will die too.
It is one thing to deny the necessity to "flatten the curve" but, unless one considers the whole business either a hoax or an unjustifiable panic, the idea is to save the healthcare system and untold lives-as you point out.
Scarborough is unquestionably a despicable human being but he's not speaking outside of logic here. The reaction on this thread is an example of an all too frequent tendency to substitute ad hominem for reason. Scarborough can be correct even though he is a despicable human being. Because Scarborough is us despicable human being does not necessarily mean he is incorrect.
If we persistently come to every position based on whether we like the person who utters an observation, we are at the mercy of our own prejudices.
