Sounds like another great reason to NOT overrun our health care system.
Which is to stay, do everything we can to slow the spread of this and at least buy some time.

I believe the experts on this, and if you do also, we should stop the panic

Your last paragraph is a bit over the top

Yeah, you have a problem with Joseph Smith?

Joseph Smith? What the?.....what does that mean? SMH...

He said he agreed with the last paragraph which is a quote from Joseph Smith.

The Joseph Smith quote is in Busiturtle's "signature" that appears at the bottom

You must not believe people will suffer miserably and even die with the collapse

Suicide rate will increase. You ok with an increase in child and spousal abuse?

There’s a lot of downsides to minimizing this.

Huge down side to over reaction.

The way you chose to frame the argument is incredibly short sighted.

Are you also bullish on ending human transportation?

Let’s skip stupid hypotheticals. What exactly are you suggesting?
Ikuna

What's stupid or hypothetical about transportation deaths?
mbs6
3/28/20 10:41am
The stupid hypothetical is ending human transportation.
Ikuna
3/28/20 12:03pm
So, you believe there's a limit on acceptable death rate per a given activity.

Pandemics aren’t hypothetical. We’ve seen them before. Many times.

But you're ok with "thousands" of kids being beaten by abusive parents. Got it.

What if the alternative is 10s of thousands of deaths from other illnesses?

A study attributed 10,000 suicides directly to the last recession.

What's your plan to stop the other thousands and thousands

When possible, NOT directly be a part of what causes them.
