THE VIRUS DOES NOT KILL JUST OLD PEOPLE.
It kills those with medical conditions and the overweight.
It kills random healthy, younger, people.

What if it kills you? Your spouse? Your child? 
There are confirmed deaths in every single age category.

I support a very careful opening, naturally, since there is no other economic option, but PLEASE DO NOT BE DISMISSIVE OF THE RISK.

Call your elected representatives to continue to invest in PPE for all, and aid to facilitate contactless technology for all businesses, and INVEST IN MORE TESTS AND TRACING.

Soon we will enter the second phase of the pandemic: opening followed by the second surge. Continue to be very cautious.

In 1-2 years, there will be a vaccine. I hope it works well (vaccines vary in their efficacy). Until then, we cannot count on this pandemic to just fizzle out by itself. We have to learn to live with our new hygiene and physical distancing lifestyle for a while.

Calm down.

88% of MD’s deaths are among those over 60 years old.

Yes, it kills a small number of younger people and even a smaller number of young, healthy people, but the inescapable fact remains that those cases are rare.

Taking the relative risk for various parts of the population of dying from this virus into account is the right way of figuring out how to reopen. [/quote]
