We were told the exact opposite.

I even heard the tail end of a Brian Kilmeade radio show where they were saying “So, yes, that is an idea suggested, to allow children and under age 60 to go everywhere and save the economy but totally quarantine anyone over 60. Because only old people get the virus and die.”

It is mostly true that “only old people get the virus AND DIE” with the operative words being “and die”

[Robert DeLong]

The average age of those who have died in this country is 80 and they all had underlying health issues that had compromised their immune system.

The Diamond Princess cruise ship was the perfect petri dish. Lots of people, in close quarters, lots of close socializing, and the majority older people. Know what the numbers were?

712 confirmed cases
7 deaths 1%
525 recovered 73.7%

The key is a healthy immune system. A compromised immune system lessens chance of recovery. The only reason I agree with all these closures is because on the totally unfounded panic that has griped this country. The panic has caused more damage by far, than has this virus. Given what transpired on the Diamond Princess cruise should open peoples eyes, but they still keep being influenced by unfounded fear.

How asenine and irresponsible of Kilmeade to even suggest that.

Fools. Just stay the heck home unless you need INDIVIDUAL exercise (NOT IN A GYM) or need groceries, shoes and what not. It's not worth it do to business as usual, no matter where you live.
