Thanks for the post Nader.

My almost 80 y/o at-risk mother (recently out of hospital for weeks) thinks that this reaction to this virus is an over reaction. She points out that she has had a whole life and that taking away the livelihood of so many is the real tragedy. IOW the "cure" (which is not a cure - it is stealing life and opportunity) is worse than death that is already right around the corner.

It is expected that we will have more elderly people die. (surprise) Many of them from CV19. The big concern --and why the massive clamp-down on freedoms-- is only to SLOW the spread such that the elderly don't all die at once.

I have one 80y/o aunt who shut her self in weeks ago. That is her taking responsibility for her own safety. ..rather than relying on the world to shut down around her. THAT is an important distinction. isolate the at-risk population rather than the whole population. Either way the elderly are isolated. Yet here we are, politicians forcing ALL people into isolation. And, again, all that will do is slow the virus. While that is something good, the cost is tremendous.
