I find it odd that we have shut down the country and disrupted the economy over the CV-19 pandemic.
While any number of deaths is sad I wonder what is different that we have chosen to ruin the economy and put many workers into a situation that they will never financially recover from. Is there a logic that I am missing? It seems heartless to say it but perhaps the country would have been better off if the CV would have been allowed to run its course without all of the drastic measures being taken.
1957-1958 Pandemic (H2N2 virus) - The estimated number of deaths was 1.1 million worldwide and 116,000 in the United States.
1968 Pandemic (H3N2 virus) - The estimated number of deaths was 1 million worldwide and about 100,000 in the United States.
CV-19 - (the most recent count) - number of deaths world wide - 45,497 and 4,476 in the United States

“Hey, you’re probably gonna get sick and a very, very small percent will die”
Us: run the [bleep] home and shut down restaurants , schools, and wait for the TV to tell us what to do.

I posted this on another forum: **************************************************** Not to downplay or minimize anything, but I was listening to Rush today while my wife and I were walking the dog.

In Japan, they are all wearing masks and other PPE.
But they are going to work.
We can’t sustain this. People in public need to wear PPE, use common sense, and go back to work.
Otherwise, get ready to see your children and grandchildren in bread lines.

Otherwise, get ready to see your children and grandchildren in bread lines. You nailed it. The bulk of our problem appears to be lack of common sense. Can’t mandate or force that on any sumbitch. Ain’t no laws against it either.

Well, how about the logic behind the assertion that many workers will never recover? Where does that come from?

The mask come from China.... there is a clue in there somewhere.... Also a mask isn't a fix all.

So for those that say take off the handcuffs and let it take its course, you’re willing to transfer the virus to your children, grandchildren, spouse, parents, etc? Didn’t think so.

It’s official. We are a bunch of pansies as a whole country.
“Hey, you’re probably gonna get sick and a very, very small percent will die”
Us: run the [bleep] home and shut down restaurants , schools, and wait for the TV to tell us what to do. i think the same way too but people think I’m being weird, 3 people die and a whole city would go [bleep] scared and people stuffs running buying TP, food etc. now we know chloroquine is a cure for and yet people are still damn scared to come out and live normally. I bet of HIV have a cure they would spank the hell out of anything they can find.

I personally think this virus is very serious. Watching Trump's speech last night has me worried. You could see it in his face, this is no joke. I think he has a much better picture of what happened in China and Italy than we have been privy to and is doing everything he can think of to avoid it.
I prefer to be alive and deal with the economic issues as opposed to the other option. Call me a pansy, if you want - just do it from 6+ feet away please.
