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.

You can rebuild your life after this is all done. But you can't rebuild your life if you are dead. The attitude you are taking is just selfish from my point of view. Ok so we isolate only the high risk group of individuals and the rest of you get infected and most survive. Who is going to take care of all the people you isolated? You bunch of infected people? I don't want you anywhere near me, fixing my meals, bringing me food, or life's necessities. I'm so sorry you are inconvenienced by all this and have to suffer the horror of not going out to work, eat, or whatever else it is that you feel is so important that it eclipses the safety and well being of others. I'll stop there before I go any further.
