Do you really think it’s as bad as as “they” say it is?
Vids like that have been happening for awhile now…Remember the fake “Terrorist” video that the US Gov paid to produce? https://www.thedailybeast.com/pentagon-paid-for-fake-al-qaeda-videos

Yes that’s the best reasoning I can see for this, to reduce potential strain on the healthcare infrastructure. I guess it makes sense but it does seem somewhat overreactive to me.
Oh well I like getting high and staying at home so it works for me lol

If our medical system was running at 80%, not really a problem. Our system always runs at 100%, so an increase of 10% - 20% means people are without beds.
Flattening the curve the same amount of people will be infected over a longer period, just at a slower rate so our health care systems can handle it.

Empty beds don’t turn a profit. Death doesn’t affect the bottom line. This is just the reality of health run as a business. Anyone who’s worked at a really big company knows that the vision into the future is exactly one quarter ahead. There is no bigger picture. Accommodating events like this just can’t fit the model. It will never be profitable.

Our health care systems are government run, still the cost of empty beds would increase our already stressed system 
Temporary hospitals in schools could help and keep COVID-19 quarantined, surprised there’s nothing setup yet. Had to go to the clinic yesterday, they had a man sitting our in the rain and snow doing drive thru assessments instead.

If the lock down and destruction of our economy is is to not stress the healthcare system then why are hospitals sending nurses home? Read quite a few reports of this

Some reports I’d received from a Boston ER doctor had noted that they are overstaffed and that it was “quiet”. Nothing to do. That was two-three days ago.
Today, he reports that the ICUs are now filled at a couple of their sister hospitals around the Boston area. Not all filled or overburdened with plenty of capacity but traffic is starting to increase.
From some metrics he had, a number of front-line workers tested positive, as well. 
FWIW, Boston has a fairly large bed capacity per capita.

I think it’s important to distinguish between the “govt” and the Trump administration.
And even then there are powerful interests inside his admin that do their utmost to thwart him at every turn.

Yeah I hope that’s the outcome of all of this… Better plans for the future. Like public buildings that get converted into care centers or something.
Sadly, I don’t think that’s the case. Watching the economic crash in 08 and seeing the failures of the economic system never get repaired… Seems doubtful this will change anything here. Too big to fail then is way too big to fail now.
