I'm assuming, unlike Cannoli, that you don't think the coronavirus is a piddling problem of no importance.

You accept, I think, that this thing can kill, and if it rages wider, it will kill more.

I hope you also appreciate that RNA viruses mutate at higher rates than other DNA based organisms, and that every time it's genome is copied is an opportunity for a set of mutations that make it more deadly, more contagious, or both. So each new person who gets this virus gives it a newfound opportunity to make multiple billion trials at improving it's ability to spread farther.

Given all those realities, and given that, at the moment, we don't have a drug that kills off the virus, or a vaccine that helps our own immune system kill it off, how, exactly, do you expect life to continue as is?

It boggles my mind that you aren't able to wrap your head around the fact that to stop something that literally weaponizes social interaction, we need to regulate and alter how we socialize till we get a cure.

Of course, this is just a little pregame show compared to what happens when climate change truly starts impacting us. But let's focus on this one for now.

You want restaurants to be at 100% capacity. You don't want the government handing out cash to sustain these businesses (I'm guessing, so correct me if I'm wrong). You do not want social contacts to be traceable.

How, then, do you stop the spread of a virus that doesn't have a cure or a vaccine? What secret methodology are you aware of that the rest of us are blind to?

Is there any answer you can give me that doesn't minimize or swat aside the deaths that will follow?
