As for high risk, they can't effectively isolate unless everyone does it too. True if you need a PCA or can't otherwise take care of yourself, but what percentage of the high risk fall into this category?

The economic impact, if governments get creative enough, can be mitigated. What can't be mitigated is if the healthcare system collapses from Corona virus and all other healthcare functions stop. Get into a car accident, too bad, all the hospitals are full so you're going to bleed out in the hall of the ER. The only sector of the economy actually being stressed from the virus in terms of limits on supply is healthcare. Food supply is still flowing, factory floor China is restarting, energy prices are dirt cheap, etc. If an airline goes under someone's going to buy their fleet and Amazon Airlines will be a thing. You are thinking very short-term. For one, you are imagining the US failing as bad as Italy, and not even near the amount of deaths we should expect. Plus if there is great damage done to the economy, that will also affect healthcare. I don't even know how you can suggest that the only sector of the economy being stressed is healthcare. I am starting to imagine the USA failing worse than Italy, because at least it has the benefit of seeing what happened in Italy, whereas Italy were totally unprepared. While the standard of care in the US seems very high, the medical industry is run for profit profit profit, so there is very little excess capacity to deal with 100,000 people who are very sick. Something that hasn't been mentioned by anyone, and it is something I would like darthoso opinion on, with his expertise. What happens when the health system starts to fail people, and every second person with an AR15 feels aggrieved by the the perceived lack of care

Wonder why Manda deleted her post where she valiantly defended Trump in his press conferences talking about Easter. Trump sounds like a fucking idiot every time he opens his mouth. Talking about “China virus” and the only reason he decided on Easter as a goal is because he just thinks it’s “beautiful”. I actually watched a reporter ask him what metrics he is using to decide when the country should “open up”, and Trump said: “We’re doing many great things, we’re doing things in many places”, before the ADULT Anthony Fauci came on and gave a fucking answer that was presidential and informative. Trump is a god damn disgrace and an embarrassment. Anyone who defends him is a disgrace. I don’t care what nit picks you can find, at the end of the day you are defending a disgraceful piece of shit who has no idea what he is doing, and does not give a fuck about American lives. He just wants to get re-elected on a strong economy. LOL, I deleted it because I don't want to deal with intolerant assholes like you and you just solidified that I made the right decision. Seriously dude, you're pathetically responding to a post I chose to delete after two minutes? This IS turning into WC part two. Learn to debate without being an insulting fuck. Wow, 15 minutes after I posted a warning! Congratulations on being the reason I am locking this thread. Knock it off with the personal attacks and name calling.
