So the argument there is basically saying the young have to take precautions so the old can live their lives unencumbered? I’m sorry, but if anything it should be the baby boomers getting the refunds, as they are the ones high risk. Heard immunity only works if the weakest of the heard isn’t actively going into high risk situations. As this virus is asymptotic in most middle age and under, especially children, its on those who are high risk to take the precautions necessary."
What a staggeringly ignorant and self-centered thing to write -- I've seen way too much of this on industry boards today. If you have the virus, even if you are largely asymptomatic, you're shedding it and can easily infect others. We're dealing with a virus that is highly transmissible - one infected person gives it to an average of three others. So yeah, right now, if you have the sniffles, stay the hell home and take precautions not so "the old can live their lives unencumbered" but so that they DO NOT CATCH YOUR MILD VIRUS AND END UP IN INTENSIVE CARE OR DIE FROM IT and so that the doctors, nurses, EMS staff, and others who are always on the front lines of battle don't get sick either. But guess you don't have parents, grandparents, or friends in the healthcare field you care about more than your theatre tickets.
