Its funny I keep hearing them call anti-shutdown protesters selfish while in the same breath saying just think if it was somebody close to you that died. Wtf?
Deaths are an inevitable part of life, some are temporarily preventable. More could be if we took to Augustus suggestion of becoming veal, however is slowing the inevitable worth not living?

Why do we let people live in earthquake zones, volcano zones, hurricane zones, tornado zones? Its not just them that is in harms way as when the eventual happens others will have to place themselves at risk to help them?

Question... People are still out shopping, having parties, gathering in places with more than 10 people, handling money that went through hundreds of hands in the same few days, touching items at the store that haven't been disinfected, etc.. What makes you think the virus isn't spreading just like it would in normal America? I work with 8 people who were sent home with the virus, 3 had underlying health conditions, and all survived with minimal side effects.
Good for you!!
Other members here have had friends/family die
Not at anything close to equal rate, even the article says some children that have tested positive and even some who have tested negative it which means it's likely not even CoVid related, not to mention how many kids have this. Why is it automatically tied to CoVid.
I can't say, I would agree that #s are being fudged by both sides.

Shutting down the economy that a billion plus rely on without question is not being alarmist?

Let them use their own ingenuity to deal with it. People aren't entitled to help or safety, which is just an illusion anyway. It is not about letting people die rather than minding its own business.
And these people won't let themselves die, there'll be survival that'll keep the place populated for next generations until extinction occurs in someway.
Then extinction, it is a cycle, and like any cycle, it tends to repeat itself over and over until some force disturbs it and makes it to collapse.
Your appeal to emotions still brings you nowhere. You let people to their own fate, and there'll sure be some that'll find ways to do it with their own definition of "comfort".

Anyone else seeing a pattern of fear yet?
"Oh its just the immunocompromised and older patients"
"Now young people are getting blood clots"
"No babies are getting kawasaki"
Sigh.

We're not entitled to saftey?
That's just.....
Do you guys really have to sink this low into the land of asininedom because you want to act like the coronavirus is nothing?
Yes, I think there should be saftey belts in cars.
I think there should be warning on items that are harmful to children.
If you had your way, just let the kids die.
How would Parents know what supplies they need to keep away from children without warnings on different bottles?
Why should we put expiration dates on food? We all di so screw it.
What about speed limits? Throw them away.
Forget check ups on airplaines, just let them fall from the sky. WE ALL DIE!!!
Again, you're making an asinine argument because you got in your head the coronavirus is nothing and we all die anyway. That makes no sense.
Why spend money on defense? We all die anyway so let's dsmantle the nukes and open the borders!

You missed my point. This virus is still going to spread no matter what we do because under the "stay at home" order, very few stay at home and we all come into contact with things infected people touch. If I had a friend or family member die from this, I'd still feel the same about it.
