@marklopeztkd I don't see a reason not to believe your story, but what I don't understand is why you would choose to keep any business open over peoples' lives? Also, do you know anybody that wants this to go on longer? Nobody does. You have a choice, shut down or watch 1-15% of people die.
@matthewjdowd If you decimate the economy completely for 2-3 months, you will save lives and prevent decimating the economy for 2-3 years. Understand? The number of dead you will have and the number of ICU patients will be far beyond what our health system can bear. The panic will be wide.
@NAChristakis The number of people that will get this worldwide still is not known and 40% is probably way too high. Your mortality rates are low. In other words, your numbers don’t match the facts. You should stop talking about things unless you are going to be more accurate.
@NAChristakis A good deal of the information here is not correct. You need to fact check your information better before you send it out to people. First off, if you have had the virus, the test by PCR still works just fine, but you will show up as negative. You are also protected for years.
@ComradeMarx1@mlipsitch@BillHanage Exceptionally good thoughtful comments from @BillHanage. Now if you can just get the various public health agencies to listen. What I am hearing out of Sacramento is similar satire. How can they be so confused and willing to allow so many deaths?
@MotherHub2 Please do not do this! It is not wise and likely to lead to health complications. Have you not heard that masks are NOT effective in preventing Covid-19? You should read more correct information.
