If you had a bottle of 50 identical-looking pills, and you knew that one of them was deadly poison; what would it take to convince you to swallow one?
Those 20-50 yr olds can catch the China virus, as well as anyone. If they are asymptomatic, they could be spreading the disease to a great many people, without even knowing it.
The next couple of weeks will tell the tale.
If you had a bottle of pills, and one out of ten thousand would kill you, but taking none would result in 20 deaths of despair across America, would you take the pill chance or let the 20 die?
I think you and so many others are missing the point. It is not the end of the world to catch this virus UNLESS and PERHAPS if you are in that age group for which the mortality rate is highest and that is in folks 75+ AND who have pre existing conditions.
These are the folks who should be told to stay home. The younger and stronger need to be allowed to go to work exactly as they have done all the past years when we have our flu season.
This flu season over 30,000 have died from the common flu and in yrs past it was as high as 60-80 thousand right here in America and yet NEVER did we do anything resembling this. It was not necessary then and it is not necessary now. We have lost between 8-9 thousand people to this virus and even that number is suspicious since any death even remotely associated with the virus is deemed to have been caused by the virus. Even Italy has said only 12% of all those deaths blamed on this virus can be directly and solely blamed on it.
This is a deliberate attempt to crash not just our but the world economy and the reasons are purely political.
THis will come out in future days.
