If I got sick during this corona scare, I WOULD NOT go to the clinic/hospital

(very US specific, I assume).

I think everyone should stay sick at home if they are not in a risk group and symptoms don't get bad. Especially when they are not even testing and isolating everyone with symptoms yet. You could have severe case of seasonal influenza and get covid-19 in the hospital.

If there is too many very sick people, hospitals start running out of respirators.

yeah, but the Fed just lowered rates by 0.5%!

But seriously, if we want to not only fight the epidemic and also preserve the economy the best way to do it would be to make sure that everyone who has to go into quarantine is compensated for lost income. Sort of a targeted guaranteed basic income.
