Message: [QUOTE="Hope, post: 3496561, member: 5220"] The CDC estimates that from 1 OCT 2019—21 MAR 2020 ( my math says that's less than 6 months) there were between 24,000—62,000 flu deaths. If anyone is in the high-risk category, they should ALL self-quarantine themselves—makes sense, don't you think? You do want them to be safe and protected, right? Our economy has taken a vicious hit, and thousands of small businesses have closed their doors because of the government 'lock down.' And tens of thousands have lost their jobs because of those shutdowns, and many will not have the money to pay the rent or make their monthly mortgage payment; let alone the myriad other bills such as car payments, utilities, etc. I have friends in the restaurant industry who are now s*** out of luck because of alarmist governors who feel they must 'do something' no matter what the consequences. I don't want these people to bear the brunt of hostile, economic decisions. I don't want our economy to grind to a halt, and as a young and healthy individual, I want to return to work so that our economy remains strong and vibrant. But 2-3 more months of this would be economic suicide. Please take a look at 'I, Pencil: the movie. The United States depends to a large extent on the transportation of materials (yes, please give a thumbs-up to a trucker the next time you see her driving her rig along the highway). Let's work together with a sane, rational plan and we will all be the better for it. [/QUOTE]
