It's THEIR retirement money. THEY get to decide how to spend what little of it is left after the recent haircuts (since I doubt they are stocking up on the 2022 options like I have been doing).
Out of IAH, I can go United for $38 on a few days notice or Frontier for $24. Since I don't care about shows or a pool, it's tempting...

Looks like this has been happening around the country as people think it’s funny and cool to be a rebel and if you try to explain the seriousness of the situation they will just laugh at you and make jokes about it.

This is more like, please stay in because you're kind of being a butthole by going out and not giving an F. We have a fragile healthcare system that is not built to deal with this situation.
All you people going out just makes it 10 times harder for all of the people staying in to try to keep this S under control. We're trying not to jeopardize the well-being of the greatest generation, no matter how ignorant some of them oldsters may be. We're trying not to overwhelm healthcare workers and hurt people who are already in need of intensive care. We're trying not to be buttholes and while some are panicking and only over-worry about themselves, a lot are staying in because we know we'll be fine, but we're trying to help out our fellow older Americans.
So everyone can do whatever the F they want (unless local governments are shutting it down). Some of those folks may be idiots (as many shut-ins are too), but they are also being buttholes.
