To be fair, if the economy tanks, putting food on the table might become extremely difficult.

well using this logic we could always eat grandma.

But she's contaminated with coronavirus.

That's the spirit! Donner party took care of those folks, pass the barbecue sauce. I'm not flying to SCL with you.

"Let's eat grandma!"

"Let's eat, grandma!"

Punctuation saves lives.

"I mean put it another way. Let's destroy everything to keep old people and sick people from maybe dying."

"To be fair, if the economy tanks, putting food on the table might become extremely difficult."

"well using this logic we could always eat grandma."

--- Priceless. Keep that sense of humor, it's critical.

My brother is an ER doctor, I asked him why this whole thing is such a big deal, he sent me this.


Again, you aren’t personally at much risk here as a young healthy person. The risk is to the community at large and overburdening the health care system. Mortality is about 0.5-1%, 5-10x higher than seasonal flu, which is not huge but still serious. What makes this virus so bad is that up to 15% of people get ARDS, a severe illness requiring intensive care or mechanical ventilation, which if those numbers hold up will completely overwhelm our resources. Mortality will go way up because there won’t be enough vents for everyone. If we can slow transmission enough to spread the epidemic out even over a few more months, more people will recover leaving ICU beds open for the next folks who need them.

I mean put it another way. You're a funny guy, but you're also apparently a heartless d.
