Yeah, shut down the economy.
Throw millions of people out of work.
Put businesses out of business - the longer this goes on, the fewer will be back.
Collapse the stock mark.
Induce wide spread stress related illness.
Create panic and artificial scarcity
How many people are going to loose their homes? How many homeless is this going to create?
The data we have is junk, full of Selection bias .
Coronavirus is a common cold virus known for decades. No one ever tested it before, b/c no one ever cared.
Running PCR tests for a common cold virus and then blaming it for illness, is stupid and causality has not been established.
If we look at numbers of poor in poor health who die of flu and cold related illnesses each years, these is no pandemic.
If no one on China set off a panic, nothing would have even been noticed.
This is mass insanity. and anyone who thinks the whole country is shut down and stock market crashed an millions who live paycheck to paycheck in a dire financial panic - all b/c some people didn't want to run out of ventilators for a few elderly - well if you think that then you are delusional.
The illness and death caused by shutdown will far exceed anything that some coronavirus could possibly cause.
This is media induced hysteria.
The elderly have less of a right to the rest of their life. Got it.
I agree there is media induced hysteria. That’s how the media makes money from a bad situation.
The corona virus has been around for decades... eh there is some truth to that, but it is false in the way you believe this. The corona virus is a type of virus. Covid-19 is a particular strain that was ever created or evolved which is more infectious and deadly than others in the past.
The stock market will not collapse. It will rebound, but it may take a couple years. In fact, historically it has boomed when it comes back.
If the government can get their shit together (I know, I’m laughing too) on this support bill, money may be tight for a while, but everyone will make it through.
As for the rest of your argument that is not backed up by the correct facts... my thumbs are getting tired from refuting your claims. It is not just some common cold. Yeah the flu is severe. I’ll give you that. But neither of them cause permanent lung damage in 20 year old people with healthy lungs.
