Public Health is its own specialty, and Public Health specialists seem to agree that ‘social distancing’, as we are doing, is next best solution to a vaccine in reducing spread of this virus to more individuals and to keeping us out of the hospital.

Yes they are the low IQ types.

Amen to that! And here is a report about the dangers of a rushed vaccine response to a previous pandemic:

"In 1976, the US government declared that everyone should take a vaccine to stop a national pandemic from the Swine flu. At that time, the US had a population of 218-million people, and 46-million took the vaccine. Four-thousand were injured by the vaccine and filed lawsuits for-$3.5 billion. Most of the claims were for neurological damage and death. According to 60 Minutes, [Mike Wallace] the vaccine was never even tested, although the media propaganda proclaimed that it was safe and effective – and necessary to prevent the spread of a pandemic that never was. -GEG"

I think that we are chafing at the bit to get out and return to normal life. The new normal may not be what we hope it will be, but we really don't know. I want to go back to my bowling leagues, go to a nature preserve and shoot some photos, fly an airplane to someplace for lunch, and be together with family and friends. We can talk about government oppression, fascism, or any other term you want to use for the restrictions that we are currently enduring. What it really comes down to is mitigating risk. You don't run across a busy highway, hoping you won't get hit. That is an unacceptable risk. So, why would you go out in public without a mask or getting too close to people where there is a significant risk of contracting or transmitting a disease. That, to me, is an unacceptable risk. Now, if the CDC guidelines, which are currently being withheld from the states, were implemented, and opening of the states economies, recreation facilities, transportation facilities were accomplished in a way to mitigate risk, than the level of risk becomes acceptable. Until then, intelligent, empathetic people will continue to hunker down.

Sorry for having to post this. But reading Edward G. Robinson's, "There's a price no one will want to pay to live" Being in my nineties, I believe I am entering that state.

What Price??There is no single answer. BUT, from a national point how many business's do we destroy, how many jobs can we destroy, how many financial dreams can we crush? Because that is what we have been doing with the shutdown. I fear when we later have all the info about this virus, we may find that the cure was worse than the virus..

What is your price regarding Corona?

If I were the ONLY ONE to pay the price, I would be willing for it to be relatively high and I would be willing to take reasonable risk, even though I have relatively high risk being 80 years old and having just had open heart surgery.

However, OTHERS pay a price, too if I get infected. This includes everyone who I infect. Every medical person who must face stress and work extra hours to do their job. Medicare will be affected it pays my bills. Everyone who cannot get a test, or a ventilator or hospital bed because I use one. Communities who must find additional hospital beds. Those who are inconvenienced to keep well themselves. My family who would grieve my death if that happens.

It is when I think of others that I face a struggle. There is also a big price to pay to keep me well -- all the closings and unemployment If we all could be tested everyday like the White House staff and have a private doctor like they do, we could control risk.

or maybe we will find out that virus was much worse than the cure. We are following the best advice of the best professionals in the world.

You still have the best thing going for you! What I wouldn't give to see my Wife's face and hear Her voice and hold Her hand. I lost Her to cancer May 2nd 2015. I would give everything to have what you still have. Stay happy and safe, tell your Lady I said Hi.
