I was at the gym yesterday morning and it was filled with many older people. That struck me a bit strange. They either don't care or don't know how this virus works.

This leads me to another thought... Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems we're doing all of this to save the over 70 set and those with heart and lung conditions. Maybe after this two week forced quarantine ceases, instead of letting everyone run amuck once more, we issue the following directive:

DEAR BOOMER: ONCE MORE, THE REST OF THE COUNTRY IS PAYING TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY. THE HEALTHY AND YOUNG HAVE SUFFERED LARGELY FOR YOU. PLEASE REPAY THE FAVOR BY STAYING HOME FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. HELP US ENSURE WE FLATTEN THE CURVE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

Regarding the sick and infirm, offer this:

WE'RE SORRY YOU HAVE TO STAY HOME WITH YOUR BOOMER RELATIVES. A NATIONAL FUND HAS BEEN SET UP TO MAKE APPLE'S AND DISNEY'S LIBRARIES FREE TO YOU.

Please. Older generations lived in foxholes and dodged bullets. Young'ns shit their pants when someone talks loud to them or their ubereats is 15 minutes late.
