US needs to be particularly careful/swift because of all the obesity and medically-dependent that are highly vulnerable.

So, ruin the world for strong, healthy people for the purpose of protecting sick people and stereotypical American fat slobs?

Dont make me start dropping Nietzsche in WO. (I am famous for that in Reputation and Meta.)

If there ever arises a genetically engineered bioweapon that selectively kills people who fear death, nullius did it.

I will call it the CatCH-22 virus.

Damn, this thread moves fast.

I've got an idea. Why don't we quarantine all the old and wise.

Then the young and stupid can infect each other. Great way to fight the idiocracy.

I am neither young nor healthy. Without disclosing personal details that may compromise my privacy, I will note that I am at significantly higher than average risk of death from coronavirus.

Dear readers of the forum:

Some of you will die from the coronavirus. (Some few of you: The virus has low lethality except to the aged or otherwise frail.) The virus may kill me, too; maybe, maybe not. That is acceptable: Life is risk, and death is a part of life. My only sadness is that sometimes, the worst befalls the best of people.
