It’s ridiculous. Most people will get this regardless of what decisions they make.

You are likely correct here. Most people are going to get this at some point in their life. The point of taking all precautions now to slowit down is to keep everyone from getting it all at once and overwhelming hospitals thus causing even more deaths from not only this virus but other non Covid related issues that would need hospitalization as well. Look at it like this. Hospitals treat an average number of heart attacks, car wreck injuries, gun shots, strokes, etc, etc throughout the year. Those numbers generally stay about the same throughout the year. Meaning you rarely get a huge influx of any of them in an emergency room but you always have some. Now throw in hundreds of Covid patients into that all at once. All of a sudden your emergency room beds are full with Covid patients as well as all those other things. Now you have to start turning away bothcovid patients as well as all those other things because you simply have no more room. Now you have patients who would normally be treated and likely survive those things not being treated properly or at all due to an overwhelmed system. Now you have even more deaths some from Covid and some from heart attacks, strokes, gun shots, car wrecks, etc etc...

Not to mention that this is a novel virus. The longer you can go without getting it, the better your chances of surviving it will be due to the fact that we will learn more about it. What works, what doesn’t work in treating it.
