the virus is no joke, even young adults are dying from it


Not really. Young adults are a very very small minority.

Media loves their fear factor, because there is some truth to it they always embellish everything.

I think herd immunity has been needed for a long time.

Quarantine the vulnerable/elderly/sick people. Let everybody else live their lives and if they come down with symptoms, quarantine them too.



Ok sure except for a few things

1. It’s not just the vulnerable/elderly/sick that are susceptible to death from this disease, even though that’s what was originally reported. A surprising number of younger/healthy individuals have died or had severe cases of this
2. Death is not the only issue with this disease, there is enough evidence to suggest that even those who recover may have significant neurological consequences for years to come. We are only just beginning to discover these
3. You can be symptom free for up to two weeks OR be an asymptomatic carrier, so if you wait until someone displays symptoms chances are they will have already infected dozens of others before they are quarantined.

And..? The only way to 100% avoid it spreading is to have a 100% lock down for weeks, that means no going out to the store, work, gas station, etc. It can not and will not ever happen. So again, herd immunity should have happened from the beginning. You can't go lock down half way unless the only reason is to not overrun hospitals. But you won't EVER stop it from spreading, and now we just need to wait for everybody to get it and build up antibodies for it, because a vaccine (that's another story) isn't going to be ready for at least a year+

I love when people bring up point number 3 as if it makes quarantines a better option.... no that just means even IF everyone abided by quarantines as suggested 20% of affected individuals would be symptom free working and spreading the virus.

We certainly need protections and barriers but this staying at home for months shit is ridiculous. I have no problem with protecting or over sheltering the old/young but aside from masks and persons limitations these at home orders are way overboard.
