- People remain at home.
- Those who are carriers can't spread the virus to other people.
- Those who don't have it can't get it.
- In total isolation with 100% follow-through rate, it would only take 14-28 days for the problem to subside completely.
- Seeing as how that is not a viable alternative, I think 60 days of fairly stringent quarantine measures is reasonable. People do have to go out to get food and supplies, and people do have to be present at workplaces to deliver them.
- Everybody else whose employment is deemed non-essential will suffer financially.
- A relatively large amount of people are going to die from inadequate medical care.

This is the best case scenario.

Do you disagree with any of these premises or conclusions?

- Shutting down the US economy for 6+ weeks will destroy a majority of small->medium businesses and raise da unemployment thru da roof

who benefits?

Anybody without 6 weeks of emergency fund probably doesn't belong in the gene pool.

I know that sounds fascist, but I didn't choose this world.

Seriously, anyone who has been deemed "non-essential" in this should think very seriously about that, who do you think they are going to choose to keep when the culling comes?
