OK! Enough of this fear mongering!
The economic and social damage done by this 'self-isolation' mania far outweighs the health benefits. More people die daily of smoking and obesity-related disease than 'the virus'. Half of Canadians live paycheque to paycheque. The economic damage done this 'Isolationism' and the resulting thousands of layoffs will result in people losing their homes, not paying their rent, or affording food or contributing to their children's education, suicide, and marital breakdowns.
Let us go back to work, to school, to living our lives. Just like every flu season - resources should be focused on the very young, the very old, people who are immune- compromised and health care workers.
Everyone else - let's get back to our lives - wash our hands - keep them away from our face and stay home if we're sick with 'the virus', the regular flu, measles, mumps or the common cold.
If our politicians really care about the health of Canadians - start by banning cigarettes and sugar-saturated beverages.
