I am personally sick and tired of the paranoia over this. Is anyone actually looking past the case counts, the deaths, the visuals of people on vents and body bags stacked up, sad personal stories of suffering and doing the fucking math? Nope. Yet everyone is fine with the economy tanking. Fucking stupid and stupid to the power of 100 maybe more.
Sheltering in place was intended as a way to flatten the curve to avoid the "Italian surge" scenario. It was not intended as a way to avoid the virus entirely. Unfortunately, I think the view has shifted to the latter. People need to make peace with the numbers. They absolutely suck. They are catastrophic. My mother is hugely at risk. But that's the situation.
