The correct response to pandemics is to copy Japan. Each time a virus appears, their uniform demographic puts on a face mask, and goes about their business.
The US, IMHO, can't respond similarly--it's just not in our DNA.
You can say, "Japan doesn't have Mardi Gras" and, "Japan doesn't have Spring Break", or for two major US city officials to say--last month, "Come visit our Chinatown". (
One on each coast). :roll1:
This week, a dozen city cops were sent to break up a six-year-old's birthday party!
A huge portion of our population would survive this virus, wouldn't get it in the first place, or if contracting it, wouldn't even display it. That's why our workforce can return to work soon after May 15th.
Those who wouldn't survive this, are older, and those whose immune system is compromised in some way.
The worst? Those with compromised
lung issues.
Those Boomers who took up tobacco, perhaps?
