I’m not panicked about it, but I sure am doing everything I can do avoid catching it. I’m a senior citizen with substantial health risks.

Go ahead, get infrected, you’ll likely be fine. Do you care at all if you spread it to others?

Nothing will keep those who will get infected from becoming infected. It is a contagious disease widespread in the general population. Everyone is free to take all the precautions they feel right for themselves but there is no evidence the current lockdown has changed the course of the disease one whit

Yes I do care if I spread it to others...I actually want my young family to get it so they will be asymptomatic and they will be immune when they are older. This herd immunity will help people like you. You can thank me anytime.

I, as well as most people, would certainly like to see reasonable steps taken to limit the risk to the people in the highest risk groups, but those steps must be reasonable.

I don't understand the mentality that you seem to be expressing which says that, because you are in a high-risk group, you expect the ENTIRE WORLD to shut down to accommodate you. Or, perhaps more accurately, to accommodate your fears. How can you demand that the entire country do possibly irreparable damage to itself just to take measures to protect a minority of the population, especially when those measures are not certain to give that protection?

Let me put it to you this way: right now, we have the whole country on lockdown, everything shut down, people hiding away in their houses. Well, why wouldn't we just have the people in high-risk groups in lockdown, hiding in their houses, and let the rest of the country continue on? What added benefit is there to forcing the healthiest among us, the ones who would provide the so-called herd immunity, to hide away the same as the high-risk people?

The idea that this massive lockdown is based on "common sense" is ludicrous.

I hate to tell you this, but this lockdown is not going to keep you from being exposed to the virus. You and me and everyone on this forum has either already been exposed or will be exposed sooner or later. This is not a “Stop the Virus” exercise. It is “Slow the Spread”. That means they are just prolonging the inevitable.

Good luck. Take vitamins and get an early prescription for HCQ and zinc.
