If the most vulnerable persons were identified and isolated, there really would be no reason for the rest of us to be shuttered. My father is 91 and in a nursing home. I haven't seen him in weeks. And if this goes on long enough, I may never see him again. But the facility he is in must be locked down to keep the virus out. That I understand, tough as it is. But I don't understand the need to lock me and my family down, too. We are not in a high risk group. And anyone who is, like my father, shouldn't be able to be exposed anyway. It really doesn't make any sense.

By all accounts, the survival rate is in excess of 98.5%.

A prominent economist predicted this week that there will be far more people financially destroyed by the Coronavirus than are killed by it.
