Dave, I am not sure if you really believe what you are posting or just trying to stir up a debate. In a few weeks when it gets to thousands of people dead or tens of thousands will that be a number that you go, OK I guess this is a big deal. What is your threshold number? I know I said I was backing out, but I just can't believe what your posting.
My cousin is always complaining about the government and rights etc etc. He is Pissed about all the people in Miami on the beach and those who aren't trying to comply with what is being asked. His wife is out of work, but he is afraid for his parents.
Sure 137 deaths today is what you posted. As of 6 min ago on the CDC site its 187. Three days ago there were only 37 dead in the us.
Last week there were only 500 positive cases, now there are over 14,000. At that rate there will be over 2 million by the end of April, 4 million by the end of May
People your age get sick like the flu no big deal. My age it increases the chance of death and for my in-laws even higher. I can see why this is not an issue for you as it would be just like the flu or a cold for you and then you would move on. I am older and could die. My in-laws would likely die. If you and I were to hangout and go to a bar and you had it but didnt have symptoms, I would likely come home with it infecting my wife and then in-laws and that has a potentially tragic outcome. No big deal for those partying in Miami and not a big deal for you.

"If no action to limit the viral spread were taken, as many as 2.2 million people in the United States could die over the course of the pandemic, according to epidemiologist Neil Ferguson and others at the Imperial College Covid-19 Response Team. "
What is the dollar value related to our economy you need to say 2.2 million dead is too much?
And what really complicates this is it will overwhelm the hospital system. Those with heart attacks or other alignments normally saved by a hospital visit wont have a place to go and will also die
You mentioned Cancer and HIV. For those partying on the beach in Miami, Cancer and HIV doesnt spread those by just being in the group. The people there were quoted as saying" if I get Corona I get Corona , no big deal" But then they take it home and give it to their buddy, sister or brother who give it to someone else who works at King Soopers and unknowingly gives it to my mother in law who could die. Their lack of concern is based on failure to understand consequences which is typical at that age.
We have had multiple at my work get sick over the last week all by causal contact with someone who didnt know they were sick until later. It is highly contagious. Much more than the flu
This is a huge deal. A life and death deal and I really don't get your stance on how your freedoms are being violated. I have explained my perspective, can you explain why you feel the way you do? Do you not believe the potential deaths could be 2 million? Do you not believe that people can unknowingly give it to others? Is there a point were you would feel the government should step in?
Like I said earlier, this is one of the few times we actually need government
(she works remote all the time already) and our 
who has been having health problems, and the town has been so quiet and peaceful. This normally would be the start of spring break tourist hell for us.
