We are talking about minimal measures to be taken in Lakewood to prevent people in Lakewood from dying. Is that still over your head? Nothing about overwhelming systems, previous pandemics, or shutting down countries. See?
You are all taking it for granted that these measures would save lives. I’m betting that everyone is going to be exposed at some point. You can either drag it out in waves or get it over with. No difference if 500 people are exposed each week on average for the next year in waves or if 25000 people are exposed now other than prolonged psychological torture with the former. You are seeing that play out in Israel.
The one caveat is if the healthcare system gets overwhelmed in option 2. Considering the current numbers that looks to be extremely remote.
