Mostly they didn’t. They went shopping with the kids.

Why are high risk people, the old and the one's with pre existing conditions, going out it public? THEY SHOULD STAY AT HOME PERIOD. It is up to them to stay quarantined.

Like I said if the high risk types, the old and the sickly, would stay quarantined there would be no problem. The healthy have 99.9999999999999% chance of having no symptoms or very mild symptoms even if they get COVID.

I repeat: High risk people need to stay quarantined for the duration.

It's THEIR problem NOT MINE! If they need supplies then ask for help!!!! If they need help and are too stubborn to ask for help then go out and take a chance on getting sick and dying.

Show me a case where an old or sick person in quarantine asked for help AND DID NOT GET IT.

Who are these mysterious “high risk” people, and how many of them are there out there? The answer:

Ummmm, obese and near obese are high risk, as well as diabetes. Can we have everyone post their BMIs and glucose tests? Thanks, now we have half the population locked down. Good job. Ummm. Now about that labor shortage, I would take it you would open immigration (non-elderly, non obese, off course.) the logical consequence of your solution sounds just peachy. Of course without total testing, all it takes is one asymptomatic here, one asymptomatic there and we be off to the races again....fun times!

“Show me a case where an old or sick person in quarantine asked for help AND DID NOT GET IT.”

My BIL’s mother was in a NJ nursing home. Was housed with a covid-19 positive roommate because there was no room at the time to move the positives. Both died. So I guess their help is on the way? You don’t read much do you? How’s that working out?

Where do nursing home people go if their caretakers bring it in?

Aren’t they by definition ‘staying at home’?

Nursing home people, by definition, ARE quarantined.

Are you victim blaming nursing home residents?

Sounds like it.

New data suggests otherwise. This disease causes blood clotting. That is why the young get frostbite like toes. What other damage will the clotting cause long term ?

“The healthy have 99.9999999999999% chance of having no symptoms or very mild symptoms even if they get COVID.”

Clearly you were being hyperbolic, but it is ignorance like this that is the most dangerous. You do not have a right to endanger other people. Worse, you want the ability to go out and tell the people you infect, even as a symptom-free carrier, they should have stayed home.

And your solution is unworkable. You are still trying to completely rewire the US economy, which will create even more turmoil, and, yes, death, than the limp along to a restart approach.

Go look, again, at the distribution of deaths by age group. You will see that the age group of the business owners, managers, senior skilled, executives, etc., are all at substantial risk. You want to turn over the management and direction of the US economy to unskilled youth. Are you a Bernie Bro as well? That would be a disaster.
