The Human Swiss Army Knife's video: Fox -Opinion: Steve Hilton: Flatten the coronavirus curve but not the economy before its too late

I got real tired of sending this to people and having them be forced to link to Apple news. It is vital we understand what is happening and what will happen if we are not aware of what is going on. Now, you've been hearing everywhere else about the coronavirus and the latest numbers and the medical response. But I want to focus on what I think is an even bigger crisis, and that is the economic, social and above all, human cost of the total shutdown policy. US CORONAVIRUS CASES SURPASS 35,000, NOW THE THIRD HIGHEST IN THE WORLD No one should question the seriousness of this virus, and especially as I said last week, the need to avoid so many hospitalizations at the same time that our medical system can't cope. The chosen strategy is social distancing, and right now, that involves extreme measures to shut down daily life. Keep the ban on large gatherings, but stop the total shutdown for everyone and start the total protection of the elderly and those most likely to need hospitalization. Don't turn a public health crisis into America's worst catastrophe. Save small businesses. Flatten the curve, but not the economy, and do it before it's too late.
