Hospitals are not and never have been overwhelmed by this thing. Bodies are not piling up in the street. There is evidence to suggest that cloth masks and all of the hyper sanitizing and distancing that people are doing could very well be doing more harm than good. It could actually have some very serious consequences for our immune systems.
I have heard sad tales about children, teenagers and young adults who have been isolated inside their homes away from people their age since the beginning of this. They go to school virtually. They play video games and talk on social media but that's about the extent of their lives. They are missing out on so much fun and they will never get that time back. It's sad but their parents have bought into the fear hook, line and sinker and they think that they are keeping their kids "safe". That isn't safe.

Well, that's just odd. Over the past several years, at least in my observation, children are seen less and less outdoors playing with friends on the street. My daughter even asked, when she revisited her hometown, "Where are all the children?" Answered her own question, "Well, I guess they're all inside." They're playing video games, texting and, as you point out, talking on social media.. Do they even ever talk on the phone? In fact, I wonder how often they ever see "friends" in person.
