[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less than a 2 percent death rate. No need to overhype things. Shame on you. [/quote]

2% is huge. Would you get on a plane or into a car if you had an 80% chance of merely being very uncomfortable, 18% of being injured to require hospitalization and possibly never fully recover and ONLY a 2% chance of death? Because by not stopping this in its tracks, you're saying we should all just get on that airplane. [/quote]
What about all the people who will lose their jobs, many of whom already survive on thin margins, children who are going under, immigrants who cannot send remittances, etc, etc. There are many other important considerations. Try to calm down and think rationally. [/quote]
Unless you work for government and were involved in decision-making around decisions to close schools, shelter-in-place etc, I really don't care what you think. I know the people who made these decisions, and they didn't make them lightly. They wrestled with all of these questions, and they are working extremely hard (in some cases risking their own health) to try to minimize the consequences of these difficult and unprecedented decisions. If you are so concerned about people living on the margins, what are you doing to help them? What did you do before this situation to improve their situations so that they would be better able to weather a situation like this?

Also, "rationality" dictates that there is economic turmoil with mass deaths, regardless of what you do. The stock market started tumbling well before the schools closed.[/quote]
