You should really, really, really, really, really tell this to our neighbors who lost their Dad.

2.8 million Americans will die this year. We don't obliterate the economy because of it.

It sucks that your neighbors' dad died. I'm sure my elderly parents would've too been taken by COVID had they not already passed away a couple of years ago.

We destroyed the economy for 9200 people, a little more than the total number of Americans who die each day.

That they couldn't visit him why he was dying was because the entire country was forced to participate in this ridiculous kabuki theater.

I stand by my post. It was all a scam.

What this article shows is that rather than globally administering interventions that have no impact on 90% of people infected and 99% of the population, we should have focused on identifying risk and intervening accordingly.

My 80+ yo parents are healthy and have no co-morbidities that could increase risk if contracting the Wuhan. Regardless, we are very careful in our interactions with them so as not to put them at any risk, which also means avoiding risks ourselves.

If our society needs to shut down the 99% in order to contain the 1%, or even a 90/10% ratio, then we might as well give up on automobiles, airplanes, sports, and every other risky behavior we commonly take every single day.

You are still an idiot and your half assed explanation does your position no good.

Trump and everyone else had no experience with this disease and did the best they could do under unknown circumstances. You, On the other hand are a genius that apparently knows everything about this disease with what, a grade school education?

Quit while you are still behind. You don’t have the brains to talk your way out of this hole.
