Can’t scare me Doc. I’ve had it with the scare techniques. Quarantine means you keep SICK people home, not close down the economy. They didn’t close it for polio. They don’t close it for automobile accidents, which kill a lot more people. They don’t close it for the flu. IF you are sick, you go to the doc and get HCQ-Z. You stay home and don’t go to work. If you are at risk, you stay home. The rest of us make the economy work, go to work, pay our bills, and everything is peachy.
OK - explain how this works when people who think they may have the milder symptoms (which are 80% or more) - OR who are asymptomatic (perhaps up to 50%) - yet are STILL able to spread it - cannot get tested (and that is very real - happened to a friend here in Houston just three days ago)
So - if sick means they have it and are able to spread it to others - and yet we cannot even test them for it because they do not meet every single symptom (which is what my friend was told) - IOW - unless you are about to go into the hospital because you are so sick - you cannot get a test here in Texas (49 out of 50 per capita in testing - in spite of what Trump says about our great testing program) - so - your plan doesn't work. The asymptomatic spreaders are able to walk around and give it to others without knowing it. That is the Achilles heel in your plan. You CANNOT quarantine what you do not know - or what you think is the common cold or is allergies (which is really bad right now) - but is actually COVID - because they WILL NOT test you (but but - whoever wants a test can get it - RIGHT????) - and they think they are OK - and they walk around and spread it to those in their lives that are vulnerable.
So - just how long are the vulnerable supposed to stay locked up - according to your plan? A year or two?
An awful lot of households have people in both categories.
