I’m not an “older republican” but having been through post 9/11 changes, I am too of a similar opinion.

The answer cannot be a choice between “lose all your freedoms forever” or “the virus kills a million Americans”.

You have the freedom to take personal responsibility in a time of crisis. Despite the zeitgeist freedom doesn't have to be all about being dangerously selfish.

Trusting people to take personal responsibility and act appropriately has failed in every country so far. Even Switzerland.

Do you believe the US is special in this regard?

Where did I mention any country? I only have to walk 3 mins outside my apartment in Berlin to find cafes teeming with irresponsible idiots. It's unbelievably demoralising.

Probably closer to several million if stricter measures aren't taken, because the severe cases will overload hospitals and there won't be enough ventilation equipment and doctors to go around.

You support going about your daily lives instead of social distancing to reduce the spread?
