"We were told that the shutdowns were to keep from overloading the hospitals". What's so hard to understand? You have a virus on the loose that kills people with no known vaccine, where do you think people will swarm when everybody started to get sick???3wheeling - the vast majority of people who get c-19 will be asymptomatic. That makes you more afraid, and me less so. Here's a disease that most people get immunity (herd and personal) with no ill effects. It very much discriminates who it will kill - very old, morbidly obese, knocking on death's door, comoridities, etc. Little to no risk to healthy people.
Ty - I agree that you are getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to perpetuate fear. We were told that the shutdowns were to keep from overloading the hospitals. You get paid, while hospital workers get laid off, and people are dying because they aren't getting needed non-C-19 treatment. That is wrong. I'm sorry you don't understand that. As for the masks protecting "me", that's ridiculous. That is not how humans operate. People are wearing masks thinking that they are protecting themselves, even though it is kabuki theater.
Rickb - as expected, you didn't give us the names and track record of your experts. At best, your faith in random, unnamed experts is misplaced.
