Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48647175 How do you propose that all of the at-risk people be found and quarantined? Should the National Guard be dispensed to go house to house nationwide? Who should they take into custody? The at risk or the not at risk? Where should they be taken? For how long?
Should household members not at risk move out? Maybe they could erect force fields inside their homes.
It seems that the easiest, least expensive, and least intrusive is an in general quarantine. As the intelligent and mature among us were self quarantining without being told and without whining - maybe you could take your cue from them.
Let them self-select. If they're really scared, they can make arrangements with their own circle to get them food and supplies. The ones that aren't afraid or don't give a shit can do what they like.
Since when am I responsible for taking care of everyone... Besides the taxes I'm forced to pay at gunpoint?
This disease has not killed anywhere close to what the average flu season has killed. It's killing the usual suspects. Sometimes influenza kills young people just like COVID19 does. We just need to let it run it's course. Yes, you should try to protect the elderly, but other than that it's a normal diseae.
