“No city in the US comes close to packing-in people the way NYC does, between its buses, subways, trains, huge train stations, and even huge numbers of taxis...and so you get the huge doses from infected people.“
So now you’ve unwittingly proven that the draconian shutdowns elsewhere were unnecessary based on skewed numbers from captive areas such as NY City with its density and infection spreading public transit system, and deliberately targeted nursing homes in the rest of the state. Natural conditions on the ground, self imposed distancing, and common sense measures like limiting access to the aged would have sufficed.
That’s a fair point. But even what you say isn’t what the FluBros are saying - which is that it’s “Just the Flu, Bro”, hence their name. You’re saying that we cannot simply ignore Coronavirus, as we always did with the Flu. It’s just the degree of response.
