Viruses can be mitigated, it up to you to decide if the economy or human life is your priority when they do happen.

I hate to be offensive, but it really seems like you're talking out of your ass, trying to lay a guilt trip on people over nature. Crashing the economy can actually kill people too. It may not be as direct as this virus, but it can and has happened. As I said before, no one wants anyone to die, but death is a part of nature. If some people want to quarantine themselves, fine. But it shouldn't be forced by the government.

Both ways lead to people suffering. I think you fail to acknowledge that.

Who is going to buy them? Hospitals use the lean and mean - just barely enough on expenses to get by business model. They know there's a time lag between orders and delivery, and by then projections are this will be winding down. Just be thankful that businesses don't run your local fire department - business plans for the usual - not the unusual.

I dont know anyone who is more adept at turning public fear to their advantage than politicians. If anything, they will use this crisis to further solidify power.

Don't forget the press; they thrive on creating panic for profit. And where would the politicians be if the press weren't there to spread the gospel.

This is where I am at. I really don't like the idea of government forcing quarantine.

I haven’t really spent much time on here, but I wanted to get something across. The reality is that the seriousness of this pandemic was present to many of us for some time now. Closing events, bars, and social distancing should not be regarded as warning signs to how big of a deal this is. The warning sign was once we realized this was in fact a pandemic. Closing things temporarily is simply the correct method of action to mitigate the disaster that would come. People should feel comfort in that we are taking these measures. I’m sure many of you are worried about our economy and jobs, but the reality is that if we don’t act on this early to prevent a situation in which our hospitals are over flooded due to a rapid influx of patients, we are going to suffer significant casualties. Doctors don’t want to be in a position where they have to choose which patients to save because of a lack of resources. Patients certainly don’t want to be in that position. The world is not ending. There is no need to panic. 2021 will exist. Life will be normal again. The economy will recover. But lives can’t come back. Stay home.

Having uninsured Americans kills people too. Where the nobility in that?

You do realize he was responding to a post of mine and then I responded to his?

You latched onto that one part like a total retarded person would and totally missed the over arching point.

I know you want to sit at the big kids table but unfortunately you're just not there yet so put your bib back on, grab a kids menu, and go back to the children's table with the rest of your toddler friends on here.

I already raised three of my own kids and dont have the time or energy to raise you too.
