Once again - this "half-assed lockdown" is to prevent overwhelming of hospitals.
Well at least now we can all freely riot without concern for it anymore, so I guess it served its purpose.

Oh it absolutely does, if you do it correctly. If the vulnerable isolate so that they have no contact with the virus, then you let the virus run through the non-vulnerable who recover from it. Then when you reintroduce the vulnerable they don't get it because it has already run its course from the non-vulnerable. So your overall recovery rate increases because those who were going to recover are going to recover, and those who weren't going to recover don't get it.
I know math is hard, but you are reducing your denominator while your numerator remains constant, which increases the percentage.

See this I can potentially get behind as a solution. But how long do you realistically think it will be before we have a vaccine that you are actually willing to take? Months? Years? As I said before, I'm taking my chances with the virus over the first few iterations of this administration's vaccine before they get it right.
And to answer your question, we'd be there a hell of a lot quicker if we didn't have this half-assed lockdown of the people who won't be affected by it.
It is not about you. It is about spreading it to others.
How are the hospitalizations in Forsyth looking Rafi?
Pretty sure you are wrong. It is ONLY about 2&2.
Well thank god the next 999 people who get it in their 30's won't die.
you've seen this release from the CDC, correct?
as previously discussed on this thread, the numbers seem overly optimistic, but the CDC is saying that 1 of every 2,000 individuals exhibiting symptoms aged 0-49 will die

Or to put it differently, 1.65M Americans who would die if all Americans were infected (and obviously older folks have a much higher chance of dying).
Is that the same CDC release that basically disregarded the information from like 45 days entirely (the most recent 45 days)?
A death toll prediction contest seems to be in pretty poor taste, but that’s just me
I mean we are basically at 1K a day still. It will likely be around 130K by the end of the month assuming we have plateaued.
Increased deaths from the exposure due to reopening of states and the gatherings at protests won't hit until July.
