Apple to Oranges. Theodore Roosevelt represents healthy active navy personnel. While the flu rate quoted is inclusive of all ages, including the very old.
People who are old enough to retire should consider staying at home and avoiding the work place.
People who are too young to retire should consider going to work.
People who have a fever or otherwise feel sick, should stay at home.
Quarantining the sick makes sense.
Quarantining the healthy is tyranny.
All of this has been obvious since mid-April. At least.
With a military ship and a military crew, I would actually be more interested in how debilitating the virus was. It was obviously highly contagious, but did it put crew out of action or otherwise limit the ship’s operations?
We have to find a way to deal with this on a more focused basis...this concept of shutting everything down is asinine for something that is obviously not deadly to certain age groups.
But that is the way government works-one size fits all.
Of the cases in my county, 18% were teens and 20s year olds. How many of those young people had their reproductive parts damaged or killed by the virus?
Nearly half our total cases have occurred in this one month of opening up.
Being a ship is a confined space where you may encounter it several times a day, it doesn’t offer much in the way of casual infection from outdoors or a single encounter with a single individual.
If you are healthy enough to riot and terrorize and steal then you won’t have to worry about the chinese virus.
Just the democrat party virus.
