My point that panic helps in no way against this virus, is still a valid point.

We certainly agree on that!

While your rate is accurate based on closed cases there are too many open cases to know if those figures you present will hold true.

I understand that there are too many open cases to know if those figures will hold. But do you have any concrete reason to believe that with the flood of cases (real or imagined) that will soon hit hospitals, that the fatality numbers we are seeing in the U.S. will improve?

Given the numbers as they stand, do you think that it is wise to take measures, even drastic ones, to prevent the spread of a disease that, to the best of our knowledge has such a high closed case fatality rate?

But I really am interested as much in your answers to the other points, too.

I have already stated that I am in agreeance with President Trump's call for people tp pitch in and limit your activity out of the home to only those trips which are absolutely necessary, and I also have no issues with Governors edicts restricting movement for all things unnecessary and to stay in place for the period of time they call for. I also agree with President Ttrump that the protocols Dr. Fauci demands, need be relaxed. We need action and there is strong evidence being presented to support using the drugs that appear to have positive affects upon this virus. We cannot have the economy totally tank, for that has the likelihood of creating an even bigger disaster.

Listen my wife is on the front lines as she works at Walmart. So she is offered even less protection than healthcare providers have at their disposal. So don't think I take this virus lightly. We are all screwed if our stores can no longer remain open.
