The kids get infected and bring it home and those at home are now directly exposed, people who are directly responsible for the children's care.Bearitto said:PartyBear said:nein51 said:PartyBear said:
Do you realize the hospitals will be over run? This is more than a few deaths it is thousands of very sick people (potentially more than we have hospital beds for). The University of Cincinnati Medical School/Center has just added make shift hospital tents on campus in preparation .
This is headed toward putting a lot of stress on a lot of things. Btw since my last post. I did see that the Ohio Governor may shut down all bars and restaurants in Ohio. He is openly floating the idea.
He also just stated schools may not reopen this year.
Surely there is some way for school districts to go online.
That is utter foolishness. We know who is at risk and it isn't kids. Let them learn.
You are either going to try to stop the spread or mutation of this virus or you are not since we don't have medications at this point to treat it. Just because the environment you are allowing to continue as normal primarily only contains ones considered as low risk for serious complications, doesn't mean you are not exposing the entire population to the threat, which can then lead to severe stress in the healthcare sector to the point that normal emergencies for any age cannot be treated in a timely manner.
You can consider the older generation as not worth saving, but allowing the medical community to be completely overwhelmed in the areas of critical care is the most serious side effect in limiting efforts to control the spread of the virus.
1. No one is going 'save' the older generation. You will die. We all will die. We all have an expiration date.
2. Destroying the economy for a delusion of immortality isn't going to 'save' anyone.
3. The vast majority of the older generation will be just fine. 50.5% of them likely won't even get symptoms.
4. Demanding kids stop learning and their parents stop working so they can feed them is incredibly selfish.
