I think I agree with you houselover vs. the last 6 posts. There are 2, not 1, ways to combat this. 1) yes, of course, take care of yourself, thats your responsibility. 2) CONTAINMENT, the responsibility of local officials.

Look at the numbers on the WHO page regarding those who contracted this.....over 80 - 15% of this age group passed away; over 70 - 7% of this age group; over 60 - 4% of this group. So, 26% at extreme risk

So you can do the math. Projections 70-150m people out of 370m US population, 20-40% contract. Apply to village population and then take 26% of that.

I sincerely hope this blows over, but the plan should not be to sincerely hope this blows over.

For me, always assume the worst case scenario, and plan according
