It is a Prisoners Dilemma situation, and you need to have nearly the entire population not defect, when in fact there is a reasonable payout that is situation dependent for many younger people. That is why I think it will be a very interesting experiment. Somewhat anecdotal (wrong anecdote like a bone in the throat) was the situation with the parents of children rejecting immunization shots a while back. Herd, rate of immunization ...... inverse maybe. Interestinger and interestinger.

South Korea appears to have managed to turn the corner while not mandating widespread restrictions on movement. Of course, they have a far more cohesive society than here and appear to have a semi-competent government. It is possible that we will have to follow Italy down the path of widespread lock down if we don't start taking serious measures quickly. Yeah, sure that is what we have to fall back on, but that doesn't address the reality that for younger people its a nothingburger. I wonder about the hospitalization rates for younger people. I haven't been able to dig up any good data. Slacker
