I wouldn't say I'm an isolationist type. I'd say I'm a slow it down so we can to buy scientists time and avoid overwhelming the hospitals type. Since we don't know if the scientist will come through or not, our next best option is getting to herd immunity as fast as we can without overloading hospitals. If somehow our hospitals had infinite capacity I'd be a let it rip type as I think the death rate is 1% or less under ideal circumstances. This dang thing just seems to spread so fast we know it'll overwhelm hospitals. Hence the need to pump the breaks. Virtually every country on the planet is doing the same thing and trying. It would be interesting to see if some country chose to just let it rip. To my knowledge nobody has chose that route.

the facts are 16509 cases that have come to conclusion in the US and 6098 have died. So if you are tested positive you have a 36% chance of dying... do the math

That is a ridiculous piece of math. Designed to spread fear. Everyone knows the death rate isnt nearly close to that number

How many of those that died were 90+ years old, that smoked for 70+ years with COPD or some other existing condition where catching the regular flu would have killed them? How many cases have gone undiagnosed and the person recovered?

The only thing the numbers your are touting do is spread a false narrative.

two weeks ago there were 14366 cases in the US at 8am, granted they were only testing the elderly at that time, with symptoms..36% died what am I missing?

Well hell

Common sense, that's what you are missing.

It will be interesting to see what the #'s do in Sweden. They aren't doing the lock in/stay at home thing -- unless you are sick. So far, they are doing well, but time will tell.
