Right now I'm more concerned about the economy collapsing than the virus. Just think of the billions in lost revenue from all the cancelled sporting events alone, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. How long until public transportation in major cities shuts down?
This shit is scary. |

Lots of people have loved ones who can't afford to get sick. And a few people seem hell bent on being the asinine voices of reason who lack any ability to reason. |

100k is speculation, right? So let’s speculate that 3,500 have died in the past few months but the deaths were attributed to maladies that make this virus so dangerous such as asthma, COPD, heart disease, diabetes, etc.
The bottom line is that we just don’t know very much at this point in time. |

Fix the health crisis and there’s no reason why the stock market and the economy wouldnt go back to what it was before the Coronavirus. |

So it's important to keep perspective. No one is saying **** old people. Or I don't care cause I am not old. |

A good part of the media is exploiting this for political reasons. A good part of it is exploiting it for ratings. |

Is it overkill at this point if drastic measures were taken to the level of:
Suspend all air travel All interstate travel is shut down Require all non essential businesses to suspend business Encourage everyone to stay at home Ban all groupings of a certain amount of people |

We need to test but there is a lot of overrated expectations right now about what pre-emptive testing like what SK did really gets you. Unless you lock everyone up and release them one by one as they test negative then large scale testing is going to be overrated. |
