Great idea: let's ignore all of the empirical data demonstrating that widespread home quarantining is the only known effective measure for impeding the spread of the virus and saving lives...and spit-ball some improbable and complex unproven ideas and try them out on the public at large so we can preserve the broken and draconian system of corporate domination of the world...and if a few million people have to suffocate to death on their own blood plasma along the way when it doesn't work out so well, so be it. After all, the Nazi experiments on Jews may have been unconscionable and morally revolting - but we learned a lot of useful medical data that way, right? /end sarcasm
The current economic infrastructure isn't worth saving; we have a global cabal of plutocrats gang-raping the working class all around the globe, and their sociopathic obsession with their insatiable greed is the reason why we weren't prepared for this horrific pandemic, and let it spread like wildfire throughout our world at the key moment when we could've acted and saved millions of human lives. The whole system needs to burn to the ground so we can build a better world where human lives are valued and protected more passionately than corporate profits and elite power structures. In that world, we'd spend hundreds of billions of dollars per year on medical and agricultural research to save lives, instead of spending hundreds of billions of dollars per year carpet-bombing entire nations of poor people who happen to have a darker shade of skin. So the next time one of these nightmarish diseases rears its head, we'll be able to develop a vaccine in a matter of weeks instead of years, and millions of innocent people don't have to die every time nature throws us a nasty curve ball.
Everything about our civilization was horribly broken before this pandemic swept the globe. Better to let that sickening sociopathic orgy of exploitation die, than to let millions of good people die agonizing deaths that we can prevent by keeping everyone at home until this viral shit-storm blows over.
We can certainly afford the bill - trillions more are being spent to save corporations, than the mere billions of dollars required to keep our people alive for the next few months while we self-quarantine. I give exactly zero shits about the value of the stock market - the value of human life transcends a dollar figure. And if the stock portfolios of the plutocrats collapse - and those bloated narcissistic sociopaths have to start working for a living, for a change, then I'd call that justice.
And in case anyone is still operating under the delusion that this virus spares people under 65 - the data is far messier, and far more grim: getting infected with this virus is no picnic for
