The way I see it, we're all going to die anyway.
Some fraction of 1% will die early from the Corona virus.
Is it worth destroying 99.7% of the rest of society, their businesses, homes, retirement, and their employees' lives, homes, and make them wards of the State?
Nope. Life is going to have risk. We're still all lucky bastards even if a few of us or our parents croak early because of this thing. No reason to hit the nuclear war KILL button on the entirety of an economy that took hundreds of years to build. If you die, do it without fanfare and drama. No reason to end our entire free market way of life. No reason to just give the State so much control over our lives and our futures. No reason to be made to live like a damn helpless baby bird waiting with mouth agape for a crumb to be fed to us. Not long ago, the prevailing view would be that the American dream is the thing that must live on, even if we individuals must die. Somehow this generation has taken the opposite view. Pathetic.
