If, as the evidence suggests, the Chinese virus is enormously dangerous to people with certain medical conditions and those over 70 years old, but a much smaller danger to those under 70, then shutting down the entire country indefinitely is probably a bad idea.
Nor for the more than 3,000 people who die every day of heart disease or cancer.
Speaking of which, here's liberal Fauci on AIDS back in 1983, when he was with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, but not yet its director: "As the months go by, we see more and more groups. AIDS is creeping out of well-defined epidemiological confines."
In 1987, Fauci warned that French kissing might transmit the AIDS virus, saying, "Health officials have to presume that it is possible to transmit the virus by exchange of saliva in deep kissing. That presumption is made to be extra safe."
Teenagers and sorority girls had to spend years being frightened of kissing lest they catch the AIDS virus, just as today they're afraid of leaving their homes to avoid a virus that, in Italy, has killed no one under 30 years old and precious few under 50.
A country is more than an economy, but it's also more than a virus.
Today, the epidemiologists are prepared to nuke the entire American economy to kill a virus.
