And there aren't severe human consequences from millions of people dying in the next few months? Easy to say when you don't seriously have to face the possibility of your parents and grandparents dying, I guess. Remember that the mortality rate for people 80+ is 1/7, which isn't far from a game of Russian roulette.

Plus, all the school districts that have shut down so far have continued to offer meals for students AFAIK.

I actually very much do need to seriously face that possibility. And I still think complete isolation is too extreme.
