Actually, it was a valid question. We have no way to prevent it and damned few ways to treat it. Allowing the maximum number of people to recover from it might be the best way to slow it down. Unfortunately, we'd also be digging trenches because people would be dying so quickly there would be no other way to bury them and the whole health care infrastructure would be in complete collapse, overwhelmed with the deathly ill and dying while many doctors, nurses, and other personnel joined their ranks. That is why no sane person who knows the facts about this disease would ever want to look the other way and just let it happen. Big Dummy never met facts that he thought worth knowing, so it had to be spelled out for him.
It doesn't mean he's crazy to have asked the question, just ignorant and callous.
