Somehow, I think the whole thing is bullshit.

People are born, and people die. WTF, I'm 83 and dinner tonight might just be it for eternity. Don't bother me none. On the other hand, I might have a dozen years yet.

Of those who get the virus, the vast majority recover. Indeed, there are those who got it and had few, if any, symptoms.

To completely shut down an economy because one annual influenza virus is a little worse than others, well, that's nuts.

The way the nation is responding reminds me of Shakespeare, whom I love:

A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.

Take your shots.
