"It is soul-stealing and debilliating to embrace the notion of social distancing & economic hibernation. In the absolutely worse case, the overall life expectancy worldwide would click down by a few weeks. Instead of 79.60 years to live we would have 79.45 years to live. 1 out of 500 people will pass on a bit sooner, or not, or die from a celebrated disease instead of just old age. This is no reason to surrender everything we hold dear and everything our parents fought for. Previous generations made extreme, heartbreaking sacrifices to create a better world for all of us. We owe them something. We should continue to do our work, serve our customers, educate our children, cultivate our health, pursue our hobbies, worship our gods, enjoy our sports, cherish our friends, listen to our music, eat, drink, & be merry. Live your life."

thank you!!

That's old school. We had one stern elderly nun at my high school, who I think was the last of that era (may she rest in peace). I hear stories though.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Let me know if you have anything to add to the idea.

great comment, thanks
