    I can't agree with your numbers. I can't just assume 1/3rd has to go to the hospital, or your calc on the total cases, as many aren't tested and the denominator is much higher. .

    I'm not saying my rights are being violated. I'm saying you can't violate those rights.

    Every nation that deals with this has done something differently. You can't just say "this nation did a national lockdown, that's why they were so successful". Nor can you say that the one and only reason the virus spread was because irresponsible people went out and partied. There are many states not under a lockdown in the US right now. They don't seem to have brush fires. They don't seem to have medical facilities as "war zones".

    There's a complex model that has to be done here. It's not just saying "everyone needs to stay home", the economy be damned.

    Right, because anyone not immediately seeing your point must be dumb and idiotic. You are the authority on accuracy of all things. How incredibly wonderful it must be.

    I am not putting others in harm's way by going outside if those others are self-isolating.

    A movie theater is a private business. If it closes, I have no right to sue it.

    Not all pre-existing issues make you more susceptible to the Coronavirus. But in your numbers, you are counting all these.

    There are a broad range of aspects of cardiovascular disease grouped in that. Of these, not all make you more susceptible to Covid-19.

    These Americans would be at higher risk and should self-isolate (though COPD has many variations). I would recommend the same measures during ANY outbreak of any flu or cold virus that attacks the respiratory system.

    I apologize, it is hard to answer all the replies. I am working - at work - as our business is considered essential. I am not at home with my fingers up my ...well, you know.
