If many people get very sick simultaneously, they would not only overwhelm hospitals, they would also inflict a disorderly, involuntary shutdown of large swaths of the economy, driven by fear -- instead of the orderly, voluntary shutdown we have at present, driven by government mandate.
We all want to avoid a disorderly shutdown driven by fear.
- SnowProblem 7y agoYour definition of voluntary is entirely different from mine.
- ryandrake 7y agoThe current so-called shutdown (at least where I live) seems to be mostly voluntary. People are out and about horsing around all the time. There's no difference in traffic before and after on my street. It's pretty much being ignored by many people, and there's no visible enforcement. It seems more like a stay-at-home suggestion than an order.
