Corona Virus

[searchinmyroots]

Just an opinion.  Honestly, I think people are losing their minds over this flu and we've yet to experience the repercussions of shutting down the economy. I believe that is a huge mistake.  

We are human and when we do normal things like gather together for events either secular or religious  which then becomes criminal, is a more disturbing thought to me.  

Elderly people came in to a store I frequent and were "violating" the social distancing rules as if they didn't care. They probably didn't. And that is just fine with me. What bothered me more was the reaction of the clerks. They were visibly angry.  With all the media attention and fearmongering over this virus we may well be seeing people penalized for what was a month ago, quite normal behavior.

Dana,

I agree and think there should be a balance.

Yes, we should keep our distance and practice a little extra good sanitary hygiene, but do we really need to shut everything down?

I'm not so sure either way.

Another good piece of advice is to try to separate older people and those with underlying conditions from the younger, healthier ones who most likely may get the virus and recover quickly.

Every year 10's of thousands of people die from the flu and we've never shut anything down. If I'm not mistaken, over a million people died from TB a couple of years ago. How come most people don't even know that?

Please don't get me wrong, this is a serious virus and all precautions should be taken as with anything else that is serious. But let's be sensible about it!
