Fact is, people are walking around who don't show symptoms yet, and don't know they're sick, and are carrying the disease and spreading it. That's the danger. That's how it spreads.
If you understand the statistics - clearly you don't - you'll see that the seasonal flu kills one tenth of a percent of infected people. This one kills two percent. In other words, it is twenty times more deadly. And the seasonal flu has a vaccine, COVID 19 has no vaccine, and there is no treatment regimen.
Take that 25,000 people who die of seasonal flu each year, and multiply it by 20, and it means 500,000 people could die of this disease if it continues to spread. There aren't that many extra hospital beds, there aren't enough ventilators - the country only has 100,000 - and with those numbers the health system will be overwhelmed. If 500,000 people die in ICU, it means that 5 times as many people will be treated at hospitals and admitted to ICUs, because the ICU death rate is one in five.
So hospitals have to be prepared for 2,500,000 people to be admitted to ICUs. They can't handle that many people!
Use your head. Know your facts. They're trying to prevent a catastrophe. They're justifiably taking preventive action. Only someone who's willfully ignorant doesn't understand why this is being done.
