If it is 3-4 weeks, the island will bounce back way quicker than Irma.

The stats from Italy have 36% of victims 71-up, 37% of victims 51-70, 25% 19-50, and 2% 0-18.

2/3s over 50. Do we ruin the world economy for us older people? Maybe we need to self isolate, social distance for a year.

After we bend the curve, smooth the peak, build some hospital readiness, we will eventually have to let this virus run its course hopefully with a warm weather benefit or we will all lose our livelihoods.

Those 50 and up really need to be more careful until a vaccine arrives.



Maybe we can just put the elderly out in a colony like the lepers.
On the NY news the chart is much worse for the 40's to 50 year old.

Our top doc said that they believe it will be back in the Fall.
I'm not trying to be negative, but I think you are .......

I'm sorry that the island is hurting, as is everyone, but bringing the virus to them may be much worse,
We have to take care of everyone. Stay home.
