Even without a pandemic, the elderly / sick have greater mortality

Mr. Tow,
2G is spot on. I hope you read up on the basics of epidemiology (i.e., common sense) and not spread this this untruth. Better yet, why not just delete it, please.
Another insanity: Calif Gov Newsom tonight issued a state at home mandate. He claims this was because someone at Johns Hopkins advised him that over half of the state's pop would/could get infected; or 25,500,000 (~765,000 deaths @ 3%) over the next 8 weeks. I'm for almost every measure suggested, but this will create even more panic.

Mr. Tow,
2G is spot on. You made this up, right? Take a minute and read up on the basics of epidemiology (i.e., common sense) and not spread this this untruth. Better yet, why not just delete it, please.
Another insanity: Calif Gov Newsom tonight issued a stay at home mandate. He claims this was because someone at Johns Hopkins advised him that over half of the state's pop would/could get infected; or 25,500,000 people (~765,000 deaths @ 3%) over the next 8 weeks. I'm for almost every measure he issued, but the way he announced it may promote more panic. I can only imagine he pulled Armageddon out of context somehow.

Yes. My generation will go trough biggest recession since 1930's and pay all this as higher taxes, lost income etc. for the rest of our lives. And for what? To save few more years of life for elderly. What an absolute waist. Insanity.

May I politely suggest you seriously read into what is happening in Europe,
particularly northern Italy, and reread your posting?

I was referring to individuals in this thread downplaying pandemic. I would very much like to not participate in protecting these idiots.

After seeing Burt's comments I think everyone should not just watch "The Sunship Game" during their isolation but also the wonderful Gregory Peck movie from 1959 "On the Beach."
