Absolutely ridiculous that anyone could have that mentality. That is how disconnected we are to each other in this society. I'm going to be 36 in July. These are my generations parents. The fact that an MD as stated above just described THINNING OUT THE HERD is disgusting. Don't you take an ethical obligation to do everything you can for a patient or for the health of the general population? It sickens me to think that I'm included in the millennial title by 2 years (1982 is when it started) but some of these kids they're interviewing in Florida make me sick. Fucking idiots. One was from Ohio (GO BUCKS) and Wisconsin. A lot of white trash/hicks in those two states. Who do you think they were listening to before they made this decision to ignore all medical advice? Everyone today is an expert at everything. In terms of self preservation. Do you think the United States of America would jeopardize financial ruin and collapse of the country if it wasn't completely necessary to take these measures? I'm not an expert and a rational person can only make rational, educated decisions with all the information considered. Right now, I wasn't taking this too seriously until Monday morning. Before Monday I had already voluntarily taken the step to not go to the gym and general perform logical safe practice as you would for any sterile environment. After Monday and paying attention to the market news I knew this was much more serious than previously anticipated. At this time I can only know what I know. If you don't read you are a low information person. I have all the credible and verifiable information at my disposal. What the prudent thing to do is to NOT ignore the recommendation of medical professionals. How can anyone know if this is overkill? How could you know if this wasn't enough? To say one or the other right now is impossible. Be rational. Read. Don't ignore professional advice. Buy time until DATA is reviewed and strategy is changed. There is already enough data suggesting the virus was spreading through healthy individuals for a month or so before first confirmed cases. The minute I saw Donald Trump look like his father came back from the dead, like the world just ended I knew this was serious. The carnival barker just realized the tent collapsed.
