Not sure if you changed your mind later, but theres plenty of people that go out knowing the risks involved. Those people are called trash , why would you knowingly spread a disease with no vaccine.
I 100% disagree with your logic those who want to go back to work should and those who dont shouldn't. It wouldn't work like that if you're "essential" and not important essential like medicine and food.
You're already forced to work at risk.
If it was optional, businesses would stay open and not pay the workers who choose to stay at home unless they got infected.
Personally the economy and businesses can go bankrupt and be forgotten for all we care as long as mitigating infectious diseases potentially saves any amount of lives.
People who arent turning a profit right now can take out a business loan or find a temporary corporate job. There are risks in running a business this is a risk that owners should take economically not workers with their lives.
You're talking just like the college students who went on vacations and to parties because YOLO who cares we know the risks and it doesnt seem that bad, but maybe I'm being harsh. The point is a total shutdown for an extended period of time would mitigate the situation.
Mortality rate is up in the air.
You quote .11%
Sure if you look at total infected vs deaths it might be that low, but people who get COVID don't immediately die upon infection.
Why dont you take a look at mortality from the recovered vs deceased patients. It paint's a bit worse of a picture.
But then again this isn't just another opinion I throw out into the internet debating morals and opinions.
I care about it, but it's hard to change anything unless you're in the right government position with connections.
The bottom line is who cares about the economic ramifications, for the most part anything that will effect quality of life,will stay in tact.
The country and world will continue to function and equally imperfect as it has been. Why not stop the spread a bit , give people vacation s who will work most their lives and watch some businesses burn it'll teach people important lessons
