Pecking order for pandemic lifestyle safety

While taking a swim I came up with two more categories, I don't know if I can edit the actual poll.

7. They mean well, but naively believe everything the media throws at them
8. Since they are in a high risk category themselves, they want the whole world shut down until they personally feel safe.

Today's society has no life skills direction or experiences.
They have been electronically raised by video games ,cell phones ,computers Twitter, Face Book.
They can't disseminate whats true or false only whats popular at the moment
They live in an imaginary life that doesn't exists only a fantasy they wish others to belive they are living
Make their existence more important they 're attempting to erase our past

My humble opinion is if those who believe this virus panic is being overblown had to pay the cost of it including stimulus payments, $600 unemployment bonuses, forgivable loans to all kinds of businesses, medical costs that taxpayers are on hook for, etc., instead of passing it on to their children and grandchildren they would indeed wear a mask and a paper bag over their heads for extra protection.

So far "something to do with November" has a narrow lead over "all of the above"

It's too bad I couldn't add a couple new ones, like this, which is my personal choice.

8. Since they are in a high risk category themselves, they want the whole world shut down until they personally feel safe.

We all know that with the recent change in reporting and bypassing CDC, the numbers will fade away.

Don't worry, the media will still report everything in the most overblown manner possible.

You mean the 132 deaths reported yesterday, "Florida's deadliest day ever"

Check the dashboard, only 17 actually died yesterday, the rest from earlier dates. You don't know the true death rate until about a month after the fact.

The death rate has ticked upward in the last month. You would expect that with so many new cases. But median age of new cases has been 35-40 so the people who are dying are the people in that age group that have pre existing health problems (healthy people under 50 rarely die) and older people who are out there mixing it up and taking too many chances.

I think this surge of new cases will peak before the end of the month and then start going down. We are not going to be another New York

"Check the dashboard, only 17 actually died yesterday, the rest from earlier dates. You don't know the true death rate until about a month after the fact."

No 17 people didn't die yesterday. 17 people died and their deaths were reported the first day. Reports of people that died July 14th will continue to come in for many days. In the end it will be a much larger number than 17. We do know the deaths reported during the last two days has averaged 120 a day. Since the number of cases has expanded in the last several weeks, it's likely the deaths will follow that pattern. Until we get it stabilized they will continue to rise.

Astonishing really that supposedly intelligent, educated people can argue with the scientific evidence out there, not to mention ignoring the fact that thousands in Italy, Spain, the UK AND the USA contracted this new virus and are now six feet under. Do you seriously believe the dead are ‘made up’?

Huh?

Some have observed that Individuals who have more education, greater life accomplishments, and respect for others are more likely to wear masks

Sorry, but anyone that doesn’t understand the value and necessity of wearing masks by this point is simply a fool, and no amount of reasoning will make a difference in their behavior.

Why don’t you man up to issue on hand instead of insinuating only one point of view. Afraid to add number 10 to your poll.......I am trying to protect others and our economy by relying on our medical experts and advisors on what I can do to stop the spread. You have no respect for those that have died....real numbers, my friend.
