And others think a “more sensible way forward” is to let the virus run its course through the population without any mitigation or quarantine, anywhere.
Nobody is going to listen to them either, so you are not alone.
They are the same people who think the best strategy to stop a school shooter is to wait outside until the shooter runs out of ammunition.
It's astounding the callousness of those who think that way when you consider the number of suffering and dying, and the burden on the health care system.
What I see is that preventing health care collapse is a large factor in the decisions to restrict activities etc.
the problem with letting a virus ‘run thru the pop’ is the assumption that the virus will mutate to a weakened state the further the spread. From what we see worldwide over the past 3 months, that assumption is contradicted. In fact, if the virus was around since Oct or Nov with few infected, it’s mutated stronger with time, not weaker.
