I think they haven't been asked because I haven't seen them asked. I'm asking on a sibling top post.

I am seeing tons of extra reasons to panic every day. Not much on why to stay calm. That worries me.

For my plan? I'm taking the safe route for now. Though, I'm 99% that I had it a month ago. Week of steroids, then a respirator, then another week of steroids. Not tested, as I wasn't in the then current risk profile. Would be today, if even close to those symptoms.

Now, if I'm at all close to right, my entire family of six didn't even bat an eye at this. Why? Have we drastically misstated the risk pool?

Again, my plan is to take the safe path. Is an easy plan for me, as I can do so. Large parts of our nation can't.

If the hospital were full, as they are expected to be due to the steep curve of infected, there is a real chance you could have died. Are you saying that is fine? Should we not try to flatten the curve as much as reasonably possible?

Apart from that, it's not like there is no economic help. In Germany, for instance, there is a rather easy process for the employed as well as businesses to get state funding. So it is not like most businesses will go under or people lose their houses.

If my evidence is that I had it, any attempt to flatten the curve should have happened in January. Effects happening now are just as likely from when we weren't doing anything.
