I really don't understand why we're watching the world economy go into freefall for social distancing when we could just quarantine those vulnerable to the disease. This only ends when every single person is immune to the disease, so wouldn't it make sense to quarantine those who could die from the disease and then let it run its course? It's incredibly frustrating.

Know what's even more frustrating, though? That's still an option.

I'm guessing because there's more to this than what we're being told. We might never know the real reason or will be told once all the fallout settles. There's a few working theories out there about what's really happening...

Yeah I think it's something where both sides are leveraging this for their fight. Good will prevail but how long will it be? We'll have to find that out as things grind along here since I don't think any of us are really important enough to really know...
