[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm feeling so hopeless about this.  Like no one cares about anyone over age 50.  I mean, even for 40 year olds, this is 4x more deadly than flu.  Any of us over age 19 could die. We need to buy time for the healthcare system.  We need to buy time to develop treatments.  We need to buy time to protect our elderly communities.

My 85-year old father moved mid-February to a retirement community.  He had been safely isolated and now is at much greater risk.  I was looking forward to him settling in and making friends and now I just want to tell him to stay in his apartment.  He won't, by the way, and is making friends and having a grand time.  Happier than he's been in years, in fact.  Why can't we agree that we have to take action and implement social distancing NOW before it gets to these communities?  I'm so confused.  Do we think it won't get there?  Do we just not care that 15% of them will die??[/quote]

Hes 85.  Let him do what he wants, basically.  ![/quote]
