As a millennial, I really hate calling this a war. A threat yes, serious yes, but not a war. But I agree the simplest most common sense thing is just stay home as much as possible, no guns or death necessary. There just isn't enough good data yet to do any different, and as a Tesla shareholder I'm disappointed they tried to fight it. If 80% of people experience no or mild symptoms, that means a ton of people are walking around spreading things without even knowing it. Until there is widespread testing, it's like dealing with a ghost, sure they might knock over a pot here and there, but otherwise we don't know much about where or how bad it is. The cases they list are probably not a good picture of what's really going on.
In my state of over 4 million people, there are 40 tests a day right now. You don't have to be statistics professor to know that's not enough to give you a good idea of what is happening with the population, especially if most people feel normal.
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow, but am thinking about canceling because I've had the sniffles since the trees started blooming last week. Almost certain it's just allergies, feel fine otherwise, but then again I could easily have Corona and not know it too.
