Severity of the disease is generally a function of the extent of co-morbidities. A rational national policy – “dealing with it” – would ensure a fully open economy for all except those with the high risks. That is undoubtedly a viable policy now that the medical community has a good grasp on treatments (that is the reason the death rate has fallen so sharply since March.)
No reason to not wear a mask, even though it does nothing to protect the wearer nor anyone near the wearer. It is a symbolic thing, like going to church regularly – a characteristic of a well-intentioned person.
Government loans and related subsidies are the reason tuition costs so much. Any time the government subsidizes something – such as healthcare – the costs rise faster than the general inflation rate.
