I don't understand why this is so hard to grasp. If everyone just goes about their day, even the young and healthy will require hospitalization due to the virus (and a relatively lengthy stay), and then good luck to those that have a hear attack, have a blood clot, or any of the other random things that can potentially kill someone without proper care.

However, this won't happen because this country is filled with knuckleheads and incompetence. 'Merica.
