So, we have a novel virus that’s spreading like fire in a dry forest,

It isn't in China, South Korea, Taiwan or Singapore, which have managed to contain it.

mostly taking down the most vulnerable and elderly

The elderly usually die from one thing or the other anyway, irrespective of coronavirus. That is why are called mortals. We don’t live forever.
Every year 2 million people die in America, mostly elderly people. Another million Chinese die in China every year mos of them from old age.
What is the problem here?
