yes....people are willing to temporarily give up their freedom to not spread a virus that is basically a guaranteed death for a senior citizen. sometimes being selfless instead of selfish happens to be patriotic in its own right

Not true about senior citizens, while they tend to develop more serious symptoms, many will recover with treatment. The statistics do show that most that succumb are overweight and/or diabetic.

39.8% of adults aged 20 and over were obese (including 7.6% with severe obesity) and that another 31.8% were overweight.

About 10% have type 2 Diabetes.

the statistics show that most deaths are older people period reguardless of the underlying conditions. Yes the underlying conditions seems to seal the deal.....doesn't justify the trying to spread the virus around because you read a statistic that "some" older people have recovered from it.

Good to see some common sense on this subject!  My opinion, it's just not worth the gamble to get it, spread it or be a carrier to someone else.

Well put
