It's foolish to do little to nothing to stop a virus we know very little about except that it's highly contagious and very deadly to people over 50 and with commodities like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease which are some of the most common chronic diseases in America. People need to take this virus seriously. Italy, France, Spain, and the UK were hammered but at least they took the necessary steps to stop the spread of the virus and now they're seeing daily new cases fall.

Correct we have to assume worst case scenario and conduct business as such. Mask wearing is our #1 weapon.
