For better or worse, I agree with Lynn and Crush. Shutting down an entire society, IMHO, will do more harm than good. I am all for those who are more susceptible or already compromised from a health standpoint to be quarantined, but for the vast majority of population, being smart and not taking any undue risk will allow for the economy to continue and not allow us to plunge into a recession if not a depression. Just my thoughts.

When hospitals begin turning away all patients (that includes setting up tent style triages in the parking lots) because they are full and people are dying by the thousands maybe then people will take it seriously. Of course by then it will be too late. They will be using garbage trucks to pickup the corpses there will be so many.

How's that for Fear Mongering?

We survived the 1918 Spanish Flu. We survived The Great Depression. We survived WWII. We survived The Great Recession (with the H1N1 epidemic stuck in that time frame). And we will survive The Great Lockdown. And each time we survived we became stronger. Maybe it is time to "thin the herd." You can apply that to any demographic you like.

We can talk statistics and overreaction, etc, but anyone here want to be the first to volunteer?

To make sure you are not taking that quote out of context I was referring to businesses not human life.

One look at the spring break pics makes me believe the answer is no. The curve on the US looks almost like Italys. Not good.

And DeSantis (governor of FL) STILL will not order all FL beaches closed other than in Broward and Palm Beach counties. He has left it to local governments to make their own decisions. So what happened? Panama City says they are open for business! All beaches open! All restaurants and nightly entertainment open! Come to Panama City!
