Some of you guys keep talking about the death rate being low, but conveniently leave out how much more contagious this is. The 2 are correlated in producing a higher “rate” of fatalities. This is a medical crisis. Someone called me a liar earlier when I said my ER doctor friend said it’s a war zone in NYC. 2 seconds online and you can find the stats of overwhelmed facilities.

the above post is spot on imho, we were not prepared, social distancing is proving to work in mitigating the impact on our health system, and we need to open the economy ASAP but in a measured non emotional way. Not protest that the government is trying some nefarious plot to keep you locked up, or that somehow every respected medical center is complicit in trying to steal money (15k) from the tax payers per head. That would be a synchronized execution of fraud on such a grand scale it just doesn’t make common sense.
