The consequences of our actions in this crisis may be far more damaging.
The medical profesion and the scientists know which sections of the population are at most risk from this virus. It is possible to isolate the majority of the high risk group and let the rest of us return to work. One can only prevent people from carrying out their normal lives for so long without risking enormous damage to the economy on which we all depend.

Being on a small rant ...
Much has been said about them Asians with their proximity with animals ... while we, the thoughtful non-Asians. kiss our pets, play with our pets, take them to the veterinarian, visit our pets stores ...
To Health!
"In the emergency room on Monday, Dr. de Souza thought she saw a familiar face. A patient was coughing so hard he could barely speak. The young man was one of their own, Dr. Yijiao Fan, 31, an oral surgery resident with no prior medical issues who had tested positive for the virus. He had been in isolation at home all week and thought he was getting better, but began coughing blood that morning." Just the flu.
That would explain our different views then.They don't know, they just learnt.
If the the sandbox is ever that ideal, so predictable, so calculatable, that virus wouldn't have exist at the first place had the manipulations be so precise, it wouldn't ever had gotten out of that wet market either. No chance.
But we all know the real world is never ideal, otherwise we'd always have 100% efficiency.
This is exactly why these things happens, why things goes wrong, stupidity and/or arrogance. Chernobyl and Fukushima thought they could handled it too.
I studied arts, major cultural studies, part of it was media studies and modernity, Marxism of course, love techs, and I feel like a dumb have to say these.
So you're market driven after all.
I suggest you to walk out of the door, lead your people and protest now. Fight for your people for better future. Objectively useless just by saying.
Gonna stop now

What do you all think, should China pay the bill for the 2 Trillion dollars being made available by Congress?

At this point in time, each country has decided how it will approach the defeat of this virus and how it will try to save its economy and as many people as possible. Mistakes are being made and will always be made.
The value of life vs the world economic destruction that is occurring will be debated for many years to come. It appears at this point that the human race will survive and that after some time, our economies will be put back in order (but not without a lot of individual suffering).
Being a respiratory disease, it would indeed be interesting to examine and correlation of serious and deadly cases with tabacco smoking. I would also like to see a follow-up to the small Chinese study on correlation of serious symptoms with blood types "O" vs "A"
I am well aware that correlation doe not mean causation, but such information should be easy to compile and analyze, and help to potentially identify those with the highest risk factors.
Have Nordic countries (with mush less sun in the winter, hence less vitamin D) a higher mortality rate?My pet theory is that Vitamin D levels will affect the course of the disease. Vitamin D has been implicated in immune response and modulating that response including reducing inflammation. My understanding is that most of the deaths due to Corona are not from the virus, but rather from an excessive immune response. It wouldn't be all that difficult to see if there's an association between low D levels and mortality. I've googled it and can't find the data to confirm or refute.
