I'm honestly more worried about the economic toll than I am the health impacts.
So many people are going to lose their jobs, their homes, and their healthcare, if everyone continues to cancel all travel and entertainment. These economic events have real impacts on families for a generation. And service workers will be the hardest hit.
The median age of fatal infections is 75. And yet we have healthy 25 year olds holed up in their apartments, hitting local economies hard. It's nonsensical. Most people should be behaving normally with some added protections (like washing their hands), and those who are at high-risk should be protected.
