Seeing there are only 3 choices, two really. The vaccine is at least a year away. Either let everything go back to normal and deal with an overwhelmed hospital system: not only COVID 19 but heart attack, stokes, annurym, etc. Many more people will probably die and many of them would have had a better chance for survival. Many of those people are likely to be older and/or have other health issues.

I think the idea of "flattening the curve" while not perfect makes more sense. The hospital system is not overwhelmed leaving more people alive until a vaccine could be found. A better approach would be a nation side shutdown until the end of May. During that time massive testing to see what areas could be brought back online.

I'm selfish in that if there is anything to lessen the chance of my Dad getting this; that and my son and daughter in law being saved than I am fine with that. Am I bored? Yes. Am I frustrated? Yes.

There is no easy answer.
