    No one is being treated like a prisoner.

    Michigan has double the deaths of California while having 1/4 the population. The reason for that is poorly adhering to the guidelines. If people can’t adhere to the guidelines then stricter guidelines are put in place.

    short-term suffering for long-term gain. Adults are supposed to understand that. Instead people are throwing a fit like children.

    you're right, as of today the current mortality rate is 5% in the US, so 2.5 in every 50. thanks for the correction.

    You are willing to concede that the majority of cases are asymptomatic, but you also believe the death rate in a country that's done no antibody tests and only tests hospital patients? Comon' dude. Pick one. You can't have both.

    Antibody research indicates coronavirus may be far more widespread than known

    I really feel the comparisons to the flu were spot on, it’s just unfortunate that the flu gets associated with something that shouldn’t be taken seriously as well.

    This is obviously a much bigger deal than the flu due to the transmission rate. I think it will be very interesting to look back and decide whether we over or under reacted. Who knows at this point. I'm not in love with the current plan, though.

    We will never know for sure if we over-reacted. But we will definitely know if we under-reacted.
