Around 95% of those killed by the coronavirus are people over the age of 65. Not everyone should be quarantine, since this have a drastic effect on the economy. The obvious thing to do is to quarantine citizens over the age of 65 only. Then the economy would function near normal, without the impact that today causes total quarantine regardless of age. This is a small price to pay to keep the economy going and advert disastrous social, public health and political consequences.

That's absolutely correct. But the goal of the left is to shut down the economy and hurt Trump.

5% of America is 15 million Americans. Are you so demented and sick that you think 15 million deaths is no big deal?

Let's just let the virus go nuts and infect everyone right? What a strategy!

Why would you accuse Sandokan of not caring about seniors when he just suggested a way to protect them?

I know you're dense and can barely read but try it again. He said 5% of corona virus deaths are under 65, and that a 5% death rate is acceptable so we should let the virus infect everyone.

That's your position too, we should go back to work immediately because millions of dead Americans is no big deal.

The thing that gets me about you leftwingers is you take shots at the few who try to be bold and take a stand, while you take no stand yourselves. And that's true of a lot more than handicapping a virus.

Most of those 5% have physical problems. Quarantine those people too. Fine.

Even among the healthy and young, the death rate is about 2% for the corona virus when the medical system isn't overwhelmed. Idiot cultists are trying to claim that we should let the virus infect everyone, overwhelm the medical system and let millions of people die. I know Trump supporters are dumber than a box of rocks, but I didn't think you hated your fellow countrymen so much that you want millions of Americans to die. That's just plain vindictive and hateful.

Why is the Trump administration advocating shutting down the economy... Have they secretly become leftists?

I don't buy the 2% figure for healthy young people, and you don't have a source for it. It's another Marxist lie.

That's an odd reply.

This is beyond stupid. Unregulated banking practises are what caused the recession. Obama had nothing to do with it. Do you never tire of being wrong about everything?

The key factor in the financial crisis was the left's insistence that bad loans continue to be made to unqualified borrowers. When Republicans put up legislation to address the situation, they were blasted for being 'racist'. Predictably, they cowered, and the bill was never put to a floor vote. The biggest perp in this was Democrat-controlled Fannie Mae. Senator 0bama got a ton of campaign donations from Fannie and Freddy. He was knee deep in this faux-racism crap. You should be wondering why a pseudo-government agency was giving so much money to Democrats.

Ah yes, the guy who thinks all of the world's experts are lying marxists, but internet blog researcher Mashmont is "the real scientist". :lamo

Snake, don't let this coward shut you up. He's a liar with an agenda to hurt as many Americans as possible. He insults you because he can't counter any of your points.

I prefer poverty over avoidable death. How about you?

Was I talking to you? Tell you what, I'll quit asking for links and cites as soon as you and your dumb conservative buddies start providing them when requested.

No, this in an international site. The internet has no borders. Learn something for once in your life; British and American English differ but being a home-schooled conservative Yank you wouldn't know that. Oh, and I am home. Now, do you have anything worthwhile to add, as if you ever do?

I wonder if you post here because in Devonshire England the word police would arrest you if you used the same "hurtful" language. Can you call still call people "fat" in England?

When you can't win on merit, just go for insults, right?

Just my personal opinion, of course, after watching some of their talking heads who were so off the wall, I wondered if they were using satire. They are arrogant, condescending, holier than thou, and generally think Americans are knuckle dragging brutes. I had to switch channels back and forth to make sure it wasn't really MSNBS or CNN. I shook my head and realized that THIS was the reason that the world has gone stark raving mad where feelings are more important than facts and understood that it is these idiot Ahole people in suits and dresses that are the reason it is a NONO to call a virus that originated in China the China virus.
