How long are you willing to stay in National lock-down? Give a timeline and what victory looks like.
3.5 million out of work and we toss them $1,200 for being a good sport. Give a timeline and exit strategy. Sounds like most of the experts are saying May 1st or so we should be far enough ahead of it to start getting back to normal rules. We should have infrastructure in place by then the keep up. I think 5 more weeks of this would do less harm than ending it today and letting everybody get sick at one time. I think our current situation with the lockdowns might cause irreparable damage. I feel confident removing restrictions 100% destroys the economy. I think too many people think letting us all go back to work will save the economy. I think it holds a higher risk of destroying it. I answered your question, answer mine. How do we treat everybody if we let 4/5 people catch it within the next 2 weeks? They will catch it anyway. It has a couple week head start on the wizards who are tracking it. They show up just in time to put on the toe tags. Removing restrictions would have 99% of those who catch it recover in two to three weeks. The "Herd" would have immunity against the next cycle. I thought all the science guys were for Darwin's law...until they decide to fight it.

The flu kills more people, but with a much lower death rate. Of everybody infected by the flu, less than .01% die from it. It’s FAR less lethal than Covid-19. People really need to stop comparing the 2. And these kinds of posts/email chain serve no purpose other than to make people think this is no big deal, and in turn will put themselves at risk. After all a “doctor” said it’s not even that bad. Your chicken little “the sky is falling” posts/ threads do nothing other than to cause more stupid people to panic. Who is doing a greater disservice? The OP, or you? I think some people like staying home. The media says there are no underlying conditions.

I notice folks with little fat in the fire love the lock down.

That's why you're not a medical doctor or an epidemiologist.

The confirmed cases are growing about 1000 per hour right now. Any reason to be concerned?

What's the RO of this virus? Zero way to know whether cases will drop without knowing that. Judging from what I saw at the grocery store today I'm highly skeptical this is going to slow down anytime soon.

At my local Walmart yesterday I was amazed, flabbergasted, astounded, dismayed and utterly dumbfounded to see that only 3 other people besides myself were wearing mask and gloves. One older gentleman made a home made mask but at least he was trying. There were many couples with 3-4 kids roaming the isles and touching everything. I understand that mask and gloves aren't readily available but you don't have to take your whole family shopping with you. I get the impression that many think " oh, that won't happen to me ". Well it has and will. I was also semi-shocked that the employees working the deli weren't wearing mask or gloves.
Maybe I'm just over reacting. There’s a reason for that Gig. Masks are for the sick people. It’s so you don’t infect others with YOUR germs. If you’re sick, you should be at home. That’s not to say there’s not a group at Walmart that might open mouth sneeze on you but Covid 19 has to be in a droplet. You can’t breathe it in like the measles or a true aerosol contagion. If you see someone walking around with a mask on it’s really only for one of three reasons: 1) You’re sick 2) You’re uneducated regarding the specifics of the virus 3) You need it as a reminder to not touch your face Other great choices might be that you’re Chinese or just making a fashion statement. That’s why the social distancing works. Your snot, saliva, etc leaves the area when you do. Other viruses don’t play so nice. Stay safe folks, JB P.S. Before you post a link where someone says it’s an aerosol, check Medline for peer reviewed literature to back up the claim.

Why are people saying it has only been here 2 months? That is lie.
I personally know 1 person and have heard of several others that had an unknown virus 4 or 5 months ago.
Long before tests were available.
God loves you just as much as anybody else!!
Jesus offered His life as a gift for you. Please accept it!

The folks wearing masks and gloves need to be sure to decon the packages you bought at the store before you put them up at home.

 Well said. The folks who continue to downplay this pandemic are living in a bubble that will burst soon. Comparing causes of death as if that somehow lessens the seriousness of this virus is foolish. Today the first infant died. A month ago everyone thought only the elderly and people with preexisting conditions were in serious danger. Obviously that's been proven wrong. Are you this hysterical about all things in life?
