This nails the fallacy of the article. The entire purpose of distancing is to avoid overwhelming the medical establishment so they can treat people instead of warehousing them to just die in the halls. You are about to see (in a month) what that looks like in Georgia. We are the vulnerable in any case. It’s tough, but don’t be fooled by political rhetoric into thinking this is over.
