Here is a thought, why don't we instead quarantine the elderly and those most prone to die from the virus instead?

@revenant we can prevent a recession that way because it's kinda impractical to try to prevent the spread of this virus to everyone.

@revenant and those most voulnerable feel safer.

@dark548 true

@dark548 you definitely have a point there got to say

@revenant maybe we should think about that. You know kill two birds with one stone.

@revenant how practical is it that we stop the spread of this virus anytime soon? It's all over the world.

@revenant More sick and dying in the under 50 population in NY😶

@dark548 I think it would be a good idea but victimology those days🤷‍♀️

@bookerdana are there that many though ? I undestand that it is people over 75 who are greatly affected

@revenant NY has tested more....and is more prepared than just about anywhere in the US..we are not closing down because its "PC",man! Everyone feels [b]so[/b]much better when its "only the old farts..reality bites

@bookerdana are you going to go on lockdown ?

@revenant We are in lockdown except for bare essential services

We are no longer the city that never sleeps...now we nap a lot1😁

@bookerdana 😕

@revenant You don't throw away that much business revenue because its PC..weird seeing New York a ghost town or an out take from On the Beach

@bookerdana hope you will not have to carry some permission form too

@revenant For what? Just no large gatherings..that taxi driver was cruising around unimpeded.There literally is no place to go.....

@bookerdana in france got to carry that at all times, fines etc. food, tavel

@revenant That wouldn't fly here,we're free range here😅
Loook at all the lemming on this Q thinking tthhey are safe because they're younger😔

@bookerdana hmmmmmmmmmm they are safer

@revenant Maybe..its the smug assurance that is so grating and may undo many under 50s

@bookerdana young people have always had a devil may dare attitude

@revenant True but I have many friends with serious health risks(not age) and the people blithely throwing them under the bus for convenience and the economy..there are no words to express my disgust

@bookerdana what do you mean by being thrown under the bus ?

@revenant Many posts clearly infer the most vulnerable don't count or count for little...how many even think of their neighbors as they descend on food stores like locust.
Btw it is too late to quarantine the vulnerable as this q suggests..we can only prepare for and try to lessen the inevitable spike in cases.We can only attempt to flatten the curve by testing and contact tracing..otherwise the hospitals won't have
the capability to respond..the genie is out of the bottle
