That's exactly what I've known from reading all the news so far. So basically, we're doing all this to protect the old people from dying. Kids are safe. But we're doing all this social distancing just so we don't get infected and pass it on to our parents and grandparents. A better alternative would be everyone continue to go about their everyday lives while old people stay in their beds and never touch anyone. It should solve this problem.

If you're old or sick, never touch anyone and stay away from everyone else if you have to go out. If you're young and healthy, go about your everyday life because even if you get the coronavirus, chances are you're gonna get better without ever having to see a doctor. For young healthy people, the coronavirus has as much chance of killing them as the flu does so for them, technically, the coronavirus is just another flu.

They know that they can no longer contain it, but they are trying to slow it down so it does not overwhelm the hospitals. There are people out there that think it is just the flu, or that only old get it, and we have to protect society as a whole from these idiots.

Why don't the young people all stay home and not get sick and celebrate their grandmother's next birthday with them?

Very interesting graph.
It is hard to tell for sure but it looks like the volume of the blue and yellow are about the same.
If that is the case then that brings up an interesting theory.
According to the expert that was interviewed by Joe Rogan the cure for the Corona virus will be "Eventually enough people get infected".
If enough people get infected there will be fewer and fewer transmission.
So the choice is simple:
Do nothing and get over it faster or quarantine the world and tank the economy and spread things out over many months.
Either way the number infected and the number dead will be about the same.

Get over it faster or tank the economy? Dude you literally have zero IQ. If half of the world gets infected, a 3% death rate means 120 million deaths on average. You seriously think there will be any economy left in any ****ing country if something like that happens? Seriously, how do you even survive with this stupidity? Natural selection should have taken care of you many years ago.

True

I prefer we go survival of the fittest route 😏

This isn't just a sickness for older people. 🙄
Don't be so selfish geezer

So we knew the correct answer 77 days ago and yet the morons calling the shots refuse to admit they were wrong.

here's my take on it bc i am pretty sure i caught it end of feb, started feeling the symptoms early march. i am 44 and have smoked for the most part since my teens. although i am in pretty good shape, aside the smoking, i did get hit by the symptoms for a good week or two and had a residual cough for quite a few weeks after it went away. mostly an exaggerated smokers hack where you clear your throat but much more often. i can tell you that i definitely can understand how if my symptoms were worse i could have been hospitalized. it really isn't something to be a tough guy about, especially if you are overweight. i think all the extra weight on the chest would make someone pass on, almost every person i have seen reported dead that had a picture of them - they were either overweight or very obese. woulda thought being a smoker would have been the biggest factor but it's not it's the weight by far. and i get why now.

fast forward to mid may, i had started finally getting out and about a bit and wouldn't you know it i think i caught some of the germs AGAIN. this time though, probably due to having antibodies, it only progressed for a few days and went away - a much milder version. i don't think the antibodies are going to make people 100% immune, at least not for long, but they will attack the virus very quickly the second time and rid you of symptoms quickly. the first time your body had never seen it so it got hit, after that it's ready to rock.

i feel that i, like most americans, will get this a couple times next season, and the season after that, and maybe from now on...but it will be less and less intrusive as time goes on. for now, especially for the old and obese, it's going to be killer until most people have antibodies. i totally understand how someone can succumb to this.
