The only question is how long it will take. It will take a lot of deaths to get there

You seemed to have missed the other part of the equation, how many people will be destroyed financially. 18,000 dead vs 16,000,000 newly unemployed.

I didn’t miss that at all. Dead is dead. I think Trump will (wisely) start focusing on the economic impact of the virus.

If he does we will have a lot of deaths.
If he doesn’t we will have a lot of deaths.

Great Point.

In round figures that is approx 1,000 cases of unemployment per death.

That challenges the idea that the right to life is an absolute right.

Dan Patrick has set a fine example IMHO: https://freedom-demokrasi-and-civilised-humanity.com/2020/03/24/potus-45-and-dan-patrick-saving-the-economy-matters-too/
