Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 3484444, member: 37"] There is only one positive from your recommendation. The conference of immunity to this virus in the future population. We're not even sure of that at this point in time. The most serious negative is those kids just extended the timeline needed for this pandemic to pass by a minimum of two weeks. Even if we can manage to isolate the most vulnerable (those individuals who will die) the number of people getting severe reactions with a low likelihood of death will be signifiant. 15 to 20% of everyone is a large number of workers who will sub perform or need to not work. That group will still overwhelm our health care systems if not put a severe crimp on societal functioning. It appears that people at risk for death starts with 50 progressing significantly as people are over 80. We've reached the point where the majority of people are not taking chances. So even if the statistics a year or two from now indicate the fear factor was overblown that won't help the emotional state we are in and the economic situation we are currently facing as a result of this crisis. Immediately (with news from China optimally but certainly when S. Korea, Japan and Italy showed signs) starting testing to isolate the infected and those communities that had reached a certain threshold similar to what was done in S. Korea was the best means of minimizing medical and financial risk. That failure exposed our health and wallets to the worst possible outcome. The kids need to understand this and do their part. After all they are the ones who will need to find jobs in the near future and that is less likely the deeper the recession. The over 80 are not individuals currently working. [/QUOTE]
