Well obviously every time you get in a car you could die, but I don't think that 3% of car trips result in a fatality, but I don't have data on it either. And sure, there is risk in the world every day, of many varieties, every one knows that. This thing is just too new, it's spread all over the globe fast, and the data and knowledge of it isn't known as of yet. Public health is more important than economy in an extreme circumstance like this, but we may just have to agree to disagree on that. If the way to stop it is to shut down for a time, then that's what it's gonna be, not sacrifice lives and have it take longer to get under control for the economies sake, cause that could cost more in the long run anyhow. The economical costs are already devastating and it's gonna take years and years to recover, plenty of businesses never will recover from this. And, who's gonna pay for all this? But to me, that's a question for a bit down the road, public safety first, this is an invisible virus that has made the rounds real fast.
