Quarantine Not Needed At This Time

Letters

Personally I feel the Governor is doing a great job. From what I'm told, everyone is going to be exposed to the virus sooner or later. The only reason to quarantine is to delay the time of exposure so that hospitals can get the supplies they need and the drug companies can produce more drugs and possibly a vaccine and/or cure. 

They also need time to develop more tests. Sarasota Memorial's ER has been very slow because nobody is out getting themselves hurt.  There are only 76 cases in Sarasota, a county of 350,000. Our hospital is ready for more of us to get sick when the time comes. 

The biggest concern I have is for our elderly.  The Governor hasn't issued a stay at home order nor has he issued a "you must go out" order.  If someone is "high risk" they should stay in.  Those of us who aren't high risk should be allowed out. The biggest point here is that we're going to get exposed sooner or later, this virus has to work its course through the population.
