I don’t disagree with you

The only thing about the pandemic getting warmed up only matters if the healthcare system can’t hack it

I don’t want to be cold about this but nobody is going to care to the point of shutting down etc if the average age of death is 77 or fat people. If you start to see large numbers of young or mid age work force people starti dying than this country will really freak out

But right now people who work or people who go to school are generally not at risk and their lives could be ruined for various reasons. Not this sickness. And those people still have a long time on earth god willing

We are going to look back on this as a self made disaster.

The problem has never been how at risk the young and healthy are but what risk they could pose to the old and immune compromised without knowing it. There are a ton of younger people with asthma, diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, etc and you’d never know it just looking at them. There are also a ton of younger people who live with older parents or grandparents and significant others or children with immune disorders.

Telling the at risk to stay home doesn’t mean much when they share a home with someone who is healthy and needs to work. Which is why taking precautions even if you’re not at risk is essential; it’s not about you but about who you could hurt without ever knowing you’re passing something along.

I do agree with you Tyler about self aware after neasures that we can all do. One of the good things about this shutdown is it made everyone aware that this was a real issue and that you abound take precautions such as masks not only for yourself but your fellow man
