Snowbird parks and Coronavirus

And the - oh it's nothing attitude is exactly what will keep it spreading around. It may not affect many people any more than the flu would, but for those who do get the serious lung involvement, I bet they will wish they had stayed home. And who gets it most ? Seniors and people with other illnesses and compromised immunity systems. How many at the snowbird parks are either a senior - have another illness, and have compromised immunity systems? Most will meet 1 of those 3 criteria.

It's a virus. You can't build a fence or threaten it with a gun to keep it away. For the vast majority of people the symptoms are identical to a cold or the flu. People who have a cough or the sniffles are going to be out and about. That is just a fact. Unless you are willing to sequester yourself from all human contact until it either runs its course or a vaccine is perfected you will run the risk of becoming infected. That will likely not happen for a year or more. I don't have enough years left to toss one of them away living personally imposed isolation trying to avoid an illness that isn't that severe to the vast majority.
