By speculation, I’m referring to the mortality rate. Agree actions to date have been unprecedented, but necessary IMO.

I respect your opinion but I strongly disagree. All one needs to do is look at countries like Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, and a few others to see that you don’t need to close down society to solve this. Yes, maybe they had a few more deaths (but not overwhelming), but how many deaths will end up with from the stress of people with no jobs, suicide or other fatalities because they can no longer work or put food on their table?

We had 60,000,000 cases of H1N1 in 2009-2010 and never a whiff at this extreme, over-the-top shutdown. We lose upwards of 70,000 a year to flu each year, but no shutdown. I don’t get it.
