Attempts to limit the spread of this virus are laudable but ultimately doomed to fail, although I do see the value of spreading them out over a longer period of time.
This virus will ultimately infect 150M people, give or take, no matter what steps are taken.
Our country deals with the flu and flu related deaths every single year without panicking. So why panic now?
Experts tell us that the fatality rate is around 1%, give or take.
I have never in my life seen such general panic over such a low risk disease. It’s psychological and economic impact is not unlike the beginning of WWII, for crying out loud. Think about that.
Look, I do favor common sense measures. But I don’t favor these extreme ‘throw out the baby with the bath water’ type of panic spreading decisions. They seem like madness to me.
