DUN DUN DUUUUUNNN!!!
Okay, sorry for being an idiot right there, I kind of had to. I couldn't resist.
On the topic of this thread, I have to say that I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it seems ridiculous to hide from this virus when we should just let it do it's thing. All storms, literal or metaphorical, always rain themselves out eventually and there will always be someone around to clean up the mess after the carnage is done. By hiding away from it, it's just going to make this pandemic last longer because it will always find a way to escape quarantine and safety procedures. If we just let it wash over the world, then it will be over in no time. Will a lot of people die? Sure, but they already have, which shows that the quarantine hasn't been anywhere near as effective as we hoped and has only served to prolong this nightmare.
On the other hand, the process of dying from this illness sounds absolutely horrible. Even for people who want to die, they shouldn't be going out of their way to catch this virus when there are more peaceful ways of doing it AND people who are physically vulnerable who want to keep on living should do everything they can to protect themselves. That also means that people who have empathy and care about others should do the best they can to avoid spreading the virus unknowingly to those people who are vulnerable, but still want to live. With that in mind, the quarantine makes sense. When I think about it that way, I feel like I should disagree with you about letting it wash over the world.
Ultimately, if this virus caused every person that was infected to just fall over dead within hours of getting infected and only experience minor symptoms beforehand, I would say bring it on. Let it spread like a wildfire because I want to get infected ASAP. At least everyone would be at peace after it was finished with us. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19's severe symptoms for those who have and will die(d) from it, I don't think it should be allowed to spread everywhere. Even though the quarantines and social distancing haven't completely stopped this thing, maybe it would have been worse without those.
