Busiturtle you're right. You're not going to convince some CB posters I normally

regularly enjoy reading. If their main education on the subject comes from groups who depend on you being in a panic and therefore make different decisions than your non-panic decisions, then their attitudes make sense. Watch the meanness and rudeness and sometimes even virulence and moral superiority with which they respond. They would never act that way in a normal world. It doesn't help when the leading paragraph sounds harsh and is easily and unintentionally misinterpreted. We are seeing two different movies on the same screen. Your article makes sense and is valid to consider. 

There are unintended consequences to the panic rarely mentioned but are costs of even higher priority than our economy. Literally tens of thousands of operations and medical procedures have been cancelled and postponed, the lack of treatment of some of which has lead or is leading to earlier death, significant pain, and even death where conditions weren't diagnosed because they weren't in the hospital to be diagnosed. An example is an elderly neighbor who wouldn't have been admitted now but because she was several months ago the doctors discovered severe sepsis which would have killed her soon. There are sections of many hospitals put in reserve and there are many nurses and medical workers whose normal use is on pause. There are lives of sick and injured to consider in addition to C19 victims.
