So much for younger people not being at risk from Covid-19

NO. I was asleep.

 

I also would like a 'commiseration' (sort of 'sorry to hear that') one but was told I need to find a suitable icon - no idea how to do that.

I don't like using 'Like' when someone has a bad experience or reports a passing.

 

Agree with your first point quoted here. That is happening because the virus was taken seriously by governments - effective treatments don't arise from the man in the street.

On the second point, trying to avoid opening the control v no control debate (as I have said many times, we really do not know the outcomes (even now)), it is not 'being sick' but 'being sick with what'. The perspective is related to your own situation: age/obese/existing illness (usually observable) and the generally unobservable immunity/immune response (possibly negative) - so each person has to make choices based on their own perceived risk but also to help prevent spread to others (an individual and societal approach).

 

One solution would be to quarantine those type of people at a Holiday Inn Express. Hopefully when they check out they will be smarter.

 

For these hallucinating jesters I would recommend quarantine at a heavily guarded psychiatric clinic instead.
