As the NYC statistics show, this is a virus that almost exclusively kills sick people:

Those with underlying conditions can sit at home in isolation and protect themselves. The rest of us should be working.
The potential for economic depression and all the problems that come with it is simply not worth the risk. Repressing everyone equally is an absurdity with a virus that is so specific in who it impacts.
Thanks for posting that. A non-biased .gov statistic that says 2% of healthy people die.....of the 2% of those that get it that are dying.
So out of 10,000 that get it, 200 will die. And of those 200, 4 were healthy. So 4 of 10,000 or 1:2500 or .05% chance of death is reason for shutting down economy?
Maybe keep all “high risk” folks at home, and allow all healthy folks to try and get it, take that .04% risk to gain heard immunity for them and keep the country moving?
