Quarantine or not?

My son was informed that at his part time job he'll get a $2.00/hr raise

Wow US is now over 1035 deaths

[Topcat]

SF Bay area expected high death rates for the next 2 weeks. 
Ramping up very fast now.

I wish I could be quarantined, I might actually get something done on my Challenger! Unfortunately the refinery stays running no matter what happens, so no quarantine for me!

Not to belittle that in any way, but the seasonal flu caused (cdc estimate) 34000 deaths last year in the USA. I was shocked at the number when I first saw it when researching as best I could about corona and flu.

New York has half of the country's kung-flu cases!!! Were NUMBER ONE YAAAA!!!

so far we are well below regular flu deaths but look at Italy, 10,000 in just a few months and we are 5x the population. We are a lot more spread out in most areas but still our number could go a lot higher.

If you take your countries total population and divide it by the current number of Covid-19 deaths....it gets real pretty quick seeing how it only really started 12 weeks ago....and we have a long way to go....

Canada: 35 deaths in 36 million people equals 1 in 1 million 

USA: 1054 deaths in 323 million people equals 1 in 306K

Italy: 7500 deaths in 60.6 million people equals 1 in 8080 

...and those numbers get worse every minute worldwide

And the numbers would be a lot worse if countries did not start taking preventative measures.
The flue this is NOT.
Maybe 12 - 18 months from now, when we have a vaccine, we can compare it to the regular flu.

How the population is distributed has A LOT to do with it. Boston, New York, Washington I suspect will be the worst hit area of the States. The prairie areas, probably get through it in good shape. Italy may have a lot less people but they are all fit into the space of Florida. So I suspect the USA will fare much better than Italy. Unless they go back to normal for Easter....which was suggested.
Then there is Canada. 10% of the USA's population, and our country is bigger, people a lot more spread out. Probably be one of the least impacted counties.
Just my unqualified

Well Putin did give the citizens a choice, 15 days in home, or 5 years in prison...

I don`t trust the source ( NYTimes ) but not a good scenario if it`s true.

The other countries have had it much longer than we have, the next 14-20 days will be very interesting.
