Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

Nursing homes aren’t outdoors. Meat packing plants aren’t outdoors. Prisons aren’t outdoors. Mass transit is not outdoors. Schools are not outdoors. Funeral homes are not outdoors. Enough examples? Don’t you feel silly now?
I'm not going to explain to you how people staying indoors keeps them away from the virus, while also subjecting them to the almost certain domestic violences and suicides as downsides.

And yet, based on the evidence, it clearly doesn’t. Just admit you’re wrong. Remember, it’s your big thing.
So your position is that people staying home DOESN'T keep them away from the virus? Not that people staying home automatically makes them lazy slob couch potatoes who will die of being fatasses.....it's that not going out into the world where the virus is DOESN'T prevent you from getting it. Gotcha.

From where is the overwhelming infection, spreading, hospitalization, and death coming??

Also, I’ll post this again...

Nearly all NYC area hospitalizations (not just deaths) had comorbidities....

From the people not staying indoors? Listen, you and Mili tend to have imaginary conversations with me. You stated there was nothing good to staying indoors. I listed the one good thing that would happen if people actually did stay indoors. If you want a fight, this isn't it. It was your imaginary hypothetical...I just ran with it.

You understand that outside people come into those places, right? In contrast, for example, nobody other than my wife and myself has been in our house for a couple of months.

But you were wrong. The virus spreads indoors, and I’ve mentioned multiple indoor spreading machines. We could add more. Airplanes, hospitals, casinos, etc., etc. Notice we haven’t heard about outdoor construction crew outbreaks, despite being on top of one another. Gee, I wonder why.

Wow.

Yeah. I was wrong. I thought I was talking with a person capable of thought. Consider this one in your W column. I'm out.

That's all well and good. Your article lists common comorbidities like high blood pressure, which per this link from the CDC is something that 45% of Americans have., obesity, and diabetes. https://www.cdc.gov/bloodpressure/facts.htm

That doesn't answer the policy question of whether or not government responses have been too much, about right, or not enough, but it does strongly suggest that the line of reasoning that goes something like "COVID-19s not really a big deal because it only harms or culls the herd of those who were about ready to croak anyway because of their comorbidities" is a faulty one. The reason why a lot of the COVID patients have these comborbidities is because they're really widespread throughout the population. America's full of unhealthy people, but most of them aren't about to drop tomorrow.
