This shouldn't be partisan.

Let's say for example, you're a small business owner (a restaurant, for example) and we ask you to close your restaurant for say three months, but in the meantime we pay your payroll and rent for that duration, but at the end, you can resume services as normal. Wouldn't that be preferable to the uncertainty of shutting you down for a period, then opening up, then shutting you down, ad nauseam...?

You really believe this thing would go away with a few more months of hunkering down?

Yes, that seems to be the case in places that have overcome it.

So shut down the whole economy if it saves just one life, right?

Over 125,000 people have died. Dicker what you will about the numbers but that's not 1.

"We the people" can pay to keep them home, then. Everyone else needs to be able to get out there and make a living. 371 people in Houston have died "from" COVID.

Wow so **** everyone else then?

Stop being so emotional. We need to do what's best for society as a whole not just what's best for a small subset of society.

I mean really think about what you're asking. You want to shut down the entire country for an indefinite period all to prolong the lives of group of people, the majority of whom will likely die from natural causes in the next couple of years anyway. What is the benefit in that?

Obviously we have not. I'd bet most on this board would be fine with paying old people and sick people to stay home. That would surely be a huge cost savings over wrecking the entire economy.

I would gladly take care of my parents if 1) they didn't have the means or 2) needed to stay home for and indefinite period of time. But I would have to work to do that so this troll (not you, the goober in question) couldn't allow everything be shut down.

If it were me I would be sad for the people who love me, but I would be rather joyous at the idea of going to a much better place.

That's an incredibly stupid way to look at any problem. Again stop being emotional and assess what the best logical solution is.

Given that 70% of deaths are over 70 I'm sure that they have accepted their mortality. If not then they're going to have a rude awakening in the coming years.

You should be more concerned about sounding like an idiot rather than repetitive. HTH

Lets not spike the football in other countries, yet. This virus doesn't just suddenly go away because people have spent a longer time isolated.

They died exclusively from COVID and not because they were already dying?

Saying "**** immuno-compromised and elderly" is equally as ridiculous as "if it saves one life". They're the different side of the same flawed argument. Kill everyone vs save everyone is a stupid philosophy. There is middle ground that doesn't involve shutting down the damn economy.

Even among the elderly covid still only kills a small minority of those infected. The majority of the old people in this country would survive.

This is where the thread got good. I'm not sure how, but I believe.

I don't disagree with you man. I just think we should be more shut down than open. But none of our opinions matter, we're just arguing on a forum. So I guess really we'll just see
