How about we let people figure out what the truth is. Take a risk, and you’ll find out if we need to keep wearing masks, stay in our homes, And change society into a Digital culture. The information is worth the risk. My body remember?
or are you telepathic?

Because not everyone infected show symptoms so it would spread even further just like at that meatpacking plant.
If the idea is to let the virus it wash over the country and kill who it is going to kill then move on then sending people back untested is what we should do.

It is either full testing and quarantines those who are infected or let it kill who it is going to kill. The social distancing helps but that stuff can spread 18 feet from a small cough. Masks and handwashing help as well but if it worked that well we wouldn't have had nurses and doctors dying from getting infected.
Are there even enough masks for everyone? I think manufacturing them would have to ramp way up. It may just be better to let those die or who are vulnerable and get it over with. There has already been a few reports of the virus mutating so the battle could already be lost.

Still, I say we either ramp up testing to an unprecedented level and starve the virus out or say screw it and let the chips fall where they may. Half-assed measures are just going to prolong this thing and give it more time to mutate where any vaccine they come up with will be useless against the next strain.
As far as death rates we have a lot of out of shape people and I think we will get hit harder than other countries if we let it rampage. I don't know where I would land if I got it.
How many medical personal have died in America due to COVID-19... 27, and that is ALL as in counting all medical personnel and they have said at least 10,000 are known to have the virus.
I am now much more afraid of whats to come if the world economy stays shutdown, than what may occur from the virus, and I am 47 so I am in the first range where the odds start to move against me.

Since this is so often compared to the flu(not you) I wonder how many doctors die each flu season via treating patients. I'm going to guess..zero, or close to it.

Well since this thread started with Inslee, people should know that back in November 0f 2019, Flu researchers at the University of Washington had told Inslee about the emerging SARS type of virus coming out of Wu Han. It was passed over as just cold and flu season. Even after the first cases started to show up in Washington State Inslee sat on his hands waiting for the WHO to claim it was a Pandemic before he going to do anything. In fact it wasn't until the media started to put the blame of the slowed response directly on Inslee that he started to take measures, then tried to blame the President for the slowed reaction (Remember when he had bragged about hanging up on Pence, and telling the Administration to stay out of Science)
