Would you suggest that for polio too?

Now you are  being  stupid. Corona  is  very  mild and  i would expose  myself to it. We are  all going to be exposed to it, its a respiratory  virus just  like  a  cold. Since  it will be a  very  long time  till a vaccine, if  one  is ever developed the exposure  point  is  mute. You are going to be exposed. As far as  polio is concerned everyone  back then was  likely  not exposed  because  of  how  polio spreads.  There were  no shutdowns. I wouldnt intentionally expose  myself to polio because  i dont want to be  crippled. Corona  offers nothing  for  me  to fear.

"Poliovirus is usually spread from person to person through infected fecal matter entering the mouth.[1] It may also be spread by food or water containing human feces and less commonly from infected saliva.[1][3] Those who are infected may spread the disease for up to six weeks even if no symptoms are present.[1] The disease may be diagnosed by finding the virus in the feces or detecting antibodies against it in the blood.[1] The disease occurs naturally only in humans.[1]"

And as  i have said only the  elderly already  dying  need to worry about  corona. I dont and  im not  in the least. And you  really  need to know  how things are spread. Corona  spreads  just  like  a cold and again, you are going to be exposed.


Oh, and the  flu is a  more apt  comparison to corona, or even a  cold, not  polio. I am far  more  likely, not  being  elderly  and  already  dying,  to die  of  the  flu. Never  had a  flu shot  in my life, dont run around  in a  mask and  i live  my life.

Hey idub, here is what you posted as a solution   
"Thats actually  not  true. All the  people  Cuomo killed in nursing homes  have nothing to worry about  ever again."
If you consider death to be a solution, as you stated, then you must also feel getting polio is a small price to pay to becoming immune to it.
Again, your comments are plain stupid.

You remind me of the people who drive down the freeway at 75 mph, one car length behind the guy in front, and say "it's OK - I've never been in an accident."

Not an apt  comparison. I  have  no idea  how  many times  i have been exposed to the  flu or  had the  flu. Life  is about  risk. If you are  young and  healthy you  have  a greater  risk of  getting  your  brains  blown out  in a robbery  than you  do of  dying  from corona. You assess that risk and  make the  decision to go outside  or  not.

On the  subject of  how  fast the  economy  will open up i have  been proven right  once again. Trump is  finding  out the  "on" switch isnt  working  so hot. Take an airline. They  cant  make a  profit  and social distance. If they are regulated to the  point  where you  have to have  6 ft in front and  back and  to each  side  of  you  thats an awful damn lot  of space for  1 person to take  up, not to mention if the  person is fat. Social distancing and  a thriving  economy will have a very  hard time  co-existing. Does  disney  world limit parks to being  1/4 full? If so why bother ever  opening

I think they are great words and thanks for  repeating them. Indeed, life  is about  risk-assessment and the  only  people  facing  zero risk are dead  people. I dont desire to live  like a dead  person, if you do, thats cool

There is a difference between living like a "dead" person and a dead person. One of them is not breathing.
Your statement saying those killed now have no worries  is akin to saying abortion solves the worries of "unwanted" babies.

Another reason for  a very  slow  recovery. Mark Cuban is  trumps  goto guy  on getting the  economy started so we can expect a very  slow  recovery.
