This isn’t going to go over well with the data worshippers here at Free Republic.
The faster those things pop on the scene - the quicker we're back. Those things are game changers, and completely up-end any arguments about 'when to go back'.

Here's my problem.
If people are sick and have a fever and have it....give them the damn meds. This sh** that you have to be part of Fauci's study is a lot of crap.
Major problems with this “brave” piece by “anonymous”:
1) The vast majority of our older and otherwise vulnerable citizens don’t live in isolation. Whether in family configurations or institutionalized settings, they are not easily isolated from the young and supposedly immune, going about their business.
2) The hospitalization peak by such an approach would in fact lead to a system breakdown that would furthe lead to more deaths.
3) However much of a wet dream it might be for Millennials to just disappear Boomers from their world, handing things over to management by Millennial would bring its own apocalypse.
High blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease are so commonplace everyone likely knows somebody with at least one of these maladies.They are also the “underlying conditions” most associated with severe cases of COVID-19

Top underlying health conditions in COVID-19 deaths include diabetes, obesity
As COVID-19 cases continue to rise across Louisiana and deaths jump by record numbers, many deaths are attributed to underlying health conditions.

Age is not the only risk for severe coronavirus disease
WASHINGTON — Older people remain most at risk of dying as the new coronavirus continues its rampage around the globe, but they’re far from the only ones vulnerable. One of many mysteries: Men seem to be faring worse than women. https://www.effinghamdailynews.com/news/age-is-not-the-only-risk-for-severe-coronavirus-disease/article_a95ca128-738f-11ea-b7f1-979100d2700f.html
That's an illogical statement on the face of it.
Not saying its not true, but evidence or reasoning for why the rest of the population will be protected has not been presented (in this sentence or in those which follow in the article--unless I missed it).
He is right, but I’d like to add that social isolation is unnatural. For elderly in hospitals/nursing “homes,” it is worse than death. Many elderly are dying alone, having had only the opportunity tell the staff to convey a message of love to their family. If an elderly person goes to the hospital with this disease, it’s probably all over.
Another dumb@ss opinion.
The science behind this has been discussed by the Flubros- more people need to be exposed to the virus.
In hindsight it would be better to get the virus early when you could get a ventilator at the hospital.
He’s correct if nothing changes but that’s not going to happen. First there is a vaccine on the way. Watch the UPMC (University of Pittsburgh) press conference, that was an academic show of “we have it and we know it”. The first human trials will be really soon.
Second the ramp up of production of hydroxychloroquine is just starting. Mylan pharmaceutical (WV) and others should be totally ramped up in a week. I don’t know why but NYers have to go to a hospital to get it. Others should be able to get a script from the family physician.
I don’t believe this economic shutdown will last much longer once effective treament is available to all with the vaccine following. I hope Trump the business man trusts his instincts on this.
Not worth my time to read. The flu-bro’s are working hard to kill envy.
I believe that unless an effort is made to at least build pockets of herd immunity now the death toll among the young and healthy will be much higher when the virus reemerges.
So, everyone on earth will contract the coronavirus?!? This type of opinion inspired hyperbole - expressed as fact is not helpful.
