A shut down and restart of an economy has never been attempted. Its like a body and longer circulation is stopped, the more damage is done.

You are concerned with living and health.... When unemployment hits 20% that will be 60 Million people without healthcare. When the tax base dries up that will kill Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security... How will your healthcare be then?

I want you to live, and i want you to have healthcare in August lol.

BTW, my loving mother is 71 so please do not think my thoughts were formed in a vacuum.

While you and I are in complete agreement about this virus, and how it should actually be handled, I think you missed what "The Dude" really said. He didn't merely suggest that the at risk people should self-isolate. He's saying the world is over populated (which is nonsense) and that we should just let "nature" kill the "weak", so we'll no longer be over populated. Which, again, is total nonsense, and it's kind of sick.

It's a fact, that people die in the thousands from viruses every year, because of age or preexisting conditions. And if at risk people don't protect themselves properly, they have themselves to blame, unfortunately. Which is why this whole shutdown is idiotic. But the way The Dude said it, came across as saying the more weak people that die, the better. And there is just no place for that kind of talk.
