...........Innumeracy is rampant. People need to understand the statistics and what they mean. And they mean this: Every healthy adult under 50 has little to worry about and should not be hiding under their beds waiting for a vaccine that may never come.
If someone follows your advice, they might want to be sure their suit is cleaned and pressed.
They will be going to funerals that they caused.
Deaths are NEVER going to be more than 2%, and for healthy people under 50 it’s NEVER going to kill above 0.35% or so even if they ALL GET IT. And almost no young adults or kids are going to die EVEN IF THEY ALL GET IT. The panic posturing will cause more stress and death from heart attacks then the virus will.

Do you not understand the issues with hospitals, how they can't handle the 15-20% of positive cases who will need care? Have you been reading anything on the virus so far?
And even if we have 320,000,000 cases, healthy adults under 50 will be fine overall and 85% of those over 80 will live to tell about it.
Some people will die? Yes. That’s what happens to living things, especially when they get old. We have to accept that and continue living the only life we will ever get. Even with Covid-19, and soon with Covid-20.
Let’s wash our hands, wipe things off, use common sense precautions, roll up our sleeves, and get the hell back to life.
ESPECIALLY IF WE ARE UNDER 50 AND OTHERWISE HEALTHY.
If you are under 50 and otherwise heathy, you have a 15% chance of ending up needing hospital treatment. Which would be fine but for the fact that hospitals are going to be overrun. So good luck with that.

We are setting up field hospitals now like the Chinese did. That’s how we handle that. Not hiding in our basements and going bankrupt and becoming unemployed and dying of starvation.

The Chinese set up field hospitals in addition to a lockdown. And even then, who knows if their numbers are remotely accurate
250,000 deaths seems more than just some people though
Better that amount now and developing herd immunity to protect future lives. Sitting in our homes is not a solution to the ultimate loss of life that will be realized. Loss of life ultimately, now and in the future, is likely to be minimized by continuing to live normally, getting infected, developing herd immunity, and spending all these trillions on researching better treatments, vaccines, and anti-virals.
Giving idiot Americans $1,200 each is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard to solve the problem of a new virus.

The following is only my opinion:
The Spanish Influenza of 1918 is our yearly seasonal flu.
If you see an elderly person still blowing his nose or wiping his or her mouth with a
handkerchief it is nothing more than a remnant of how people reduced the risk of catching T.B.
that raged from 1895 to 1954 killing 1 in every 7 human beings world wide.
Only 515 out of 9,253 cases in the U.S. in recent years. The number of cases are being reported
less and less each year in the U.S. but is still the leader globally reaching approximately 1.5 million deaths each year.
The U.S. has control of this bacterial disease with Isoniazid and Rimactane .
In time the U.S. will eventually have a vaccination Corona Virus that will lessen the death toll and fears now consuming
the American population.
Who cares? They are a CONSTANT source of death and injury and destruction. Contagious diseases generally self-limit through enabling herd immunity.
