Here I could. Public transportation everywhere. But not the case back home.
Anyway, hospitals here are near capacity. If they can't keep the infections down, anyone who needs medical attention is SOL. So it makes sense. We have a right to Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness. But you can't have the other 2 without having one first.
Also look at statistics instead of making your own up. 4% of infected need hospitalization. 4% of 8000 people infected per day is 320 people needing hospital beds every day. Want to raise taxes and and build more hospitals?
And if the numbers are lower, even at 2% the area under the curve is still too high for the system to cope with. So it makes logical sense to keep the curve down. I'm no doctor, but I'm good at math
