California Governor calls for home isolation for seniors, bars to close, etc

I wonder if anyone has done a comparison of damage done by the economy grinding to a halt vs quarantine. I don't mean this in a snarky way. I just imagine a world where truck drivers stop making deliveries. At what point do more people die from lack of resources than the current pandemic?

Unless forced to close, the bars, restaurants, and businesses will stay open. Very few will voluntarily do the right thing.

I can see why he wants restaurants and bars to close. But why breweries?

I went to every grocery store in town yesterday just to get the basics, and still came up short.<p>It was massive crowds of elderly people.

I have noticed that in every online discussion on this topic in recent weeks, there is a group that continues to insist that the virus is a minor problem, no worse than the annual flu. I assume they are all fervent Trump supporters.
