But I imagine for families needing to see each others face it may be difficult to not be in the same room w them |

China found that out early on and alot of the Asian countries are now removing the infected person from the household into a quarantine only location. We should be doing that as well. |

To put it harshly, those events were more catastrophic in terms of lived trauma than they were purely in terms of deaths. Those events look scary. This one's "just" an invisible thing that kills old people.

And also with terrorism, you have a little bit of inconvenience with the TSA as your only likely personal impact. It's mostly soldiers you don't know fighting half a world away, and not any sacrifice on the part of everyday americans. Whereas with quarantine, it impacts everyone, and the longer it goes on, the harder it is for people to deal with. |

This was proposed by many people early on by using our excess hotel space as place to put quarantined people. The hotels would make money as well. The government did that for people that they brought back from China and put them in hotel quarantines at Travis AFB. https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/he...239991138.html |

The result? 2,172 deaths in a state with more than 40 million people. Now, whether or not that can continue is a different debate but California did prove that it could happen. |

I think that is a huge part of it. If people actually saw what was going on in hospitals and how these patients are struggling and dying then I believe they would rethink their position. |

Like here in our area, there hasn’t been a new case in I believe 10 days now. It’s hard for people in rural areas woth zero cases to feel that way |

Social distancing should continue to play a huge role along with staggering children at school in such a way that the kids still spend time in classrooms with their teachers at 1/3 or 1/2 capacity as well as other safeguards which should include mandatory masks in public spaces and the recommendation of gloves. And if people want to work or participate in public gatherings (concerts, sporting events, etc.), they should be allowed to do while following strict guidelines. Relying on a vaccine that may never come will only prolong the suffering felt by all Americans, not just those that contract the virus. |
