It’s pretty simple. When they say no gatherings over X people, avoid places where X people or more would gather. That’s an easy thing to follow. There is also a big push to have people avoid places where people from multiple areas might get together. That helps to avoid spread and create new hot spots. We don’t need a complete lockdown or all businesses to close, just some common sense. We also need more testing and more quarantines when people test positive. Until testing ramps up people should assume anyone and everyone around them could be sick. If we ramp up testing and get caught up and eventually ahead of this thing the extreme social distancing will be shorter lived. If people can’t help themselves or believe this is a hoax or overreaction the disease will spread and instead of weeks of complete disruption to all of our lives we could be facing months and a whole lot more damage to the economy long term.
That's why I am glad I play video games. I can game with a large group of friends, in isolation, no worries. So in short, everyone should play more video games.
My boss just bought his son a Nintendo Switch. His wife was against getting any video game systems until they closed schools until April. She told him to get whatever system has Mario Cart. With Prime delivery its coming on Tuesday
Use common sense. Avoid unnecessary contact with other people, especially large crowds. Do things you need to do, avoid things you don’t. It’s not going to kill people to chill out at home for a little while. If you need to go to work, go. If you can work remotely do it. Don’t have kids (including college students) in school for a little while. If you need groceries or medicine go get it, but no need to go shopping at the mall. Nobody needs to go to a museum, a theme park, a beach, a resort, a sporting event, etc.
He seems to have caught the stupid. I'm out too as I have a family to support and can't afford to catch it.
LOL! So he says "15%" and I say so that means 85% won't and I'm somehow "stupid". I will put it this way. If you knew you had an 85% chance of winning billions on the powerball would you say it would be way too risky to buy a ticket or would you feel you have really great odds of winning? You're scared of something that even IF "4%" of people will die from doesn't that mean 96% will NOT die? How is my math wrong and how am I being irrational?
They'll see everything! They'll see the big board!
At this point, no closures are shocking anymore.
Oh easy, because your ignoring the fact that we're not talking dollars, we're talking about living beings so yeah I'm scared of something that is easily transmittable AND the potential to kill 13 million (using your numbers) adults
