Bottom line here is that the whole country is putting themselves out to protect the elderly. I’m not judging good or bad, just pointing out a fact.
Stay-at-home and no human contact is not a sustainable solution for humans, especially in the US where people expect the Bill of Rights protects us from extreme government control.
People are eventually gonna decide that sacrificing their livelihood for 1% of the population is not something they are willing to do. They are also going to start questioning if going to massive outdoor park or walking trail where they may pass within 5 feet of someone once every 10 minutes is actually a problem and why people sitting with their friends on the beach are getting ticketed. And, for sure – the extroverts of the world are going to go mad and become depressed if they can’t hug their friends on a daily basis.
A more sustainable solution is necessary and the politicians who think they are in control of everything are going to find out they aren’t. They need to learn the difference between “perfect” and “optimal.”
