COVID-19 Probably Won't Destroy Society, but the Government's Reaction Might

"If you were trying to design the most malevolently evil plan possible for America, increasing the number of deaths by 25% for a year and concentrating them mostly among the old and the sick wouldn’t even come close. But isolating everyone so they’re deprived of human companionship while inflicting a historically unprecedented economic catastrophe … that would be hard to beat."

everyone dies one day, Trump is right, the country will fail if folks do not go back to work, like war you walk into death for the good of the nation..if the country begins to fail we will have ww3

The virus definitely won’t destroy us but this new debt will destroy America as we know it.

The best analogy I heard was the economy was a like a shark - it dies if it stops swimming.

As for this "stimulus", I fear it will be as Francis Bacon once said:

And as a Christian, I see this entire affair is another brick in the pavement on the road to the Last Days. The Antichrist kingdom is being built, rapidly. Soon, we will see the elimination of paper cash on a global scale (carries viruses and germs, you see), a China-esque global surveillance system of all people's on the earth (must monitor their travel and movement), and an increase of power to the Globalists.

From the article:

Moreover, if our leaders try to deprive of us of human companionship until COVID-19 is no longer a threat while strangling the economy to avoid something that, even in the worst-case scenario presented by our unreliable media, is a perfectly natural occurrence that history has shown humans handle and shrug off, one has to wonder: are our leaders mad, or are they trying to destroy us?

The madness of these last few days reminds me of this from Scripture:

10 "At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold."

Matthew 24: 10-12

Life goes south then life goes north. Hot then cold then hot .... consider a sammage

Well let’s hope the last days don’t come until our nephews and nieces get to enjoy a full life like we did. And our children too.

I’m guessing many of us older folks weren’t as concerned with end days when we had young days :-)

“until our nephews and nieces get to enjoy a full life like we did”

Like, back in the ‘90s? /s

Morning dp!

I'll let God sort out the timing. Yes, it's good to revel in the blessings God has granted us: children, grandchildren, family, friends, and joy of His creation. But I can't pray: "Come Lord Jesus! But, not just yet...…

Just as the flood came during Noah's day when people were drinking, eating, marrying, and building, God's next move on the prophetic calendar will come when the world does not expect it. It's hard for me to put my focus more on God than on this world. In fact, it's a daily struggle.

Thank you

Most of the younger folk in our population seem kinda naive when it comes to things that are real. Their attention never had to be diverted. Boys who would graduate today probably hear stories about their fathers and grandfathers time in Jr. and Sr. High School when they had sometihng called “Industrial Arts” and Metal Shop, Wood Shop, Machine Shop, Carpentry and Auto Shop...We need the next generation of male students to at least be able to sharpen a drill bit by the time they’re 14...How did we get here?!

Perhaps states should have to pay the overhead costs of businesses they order closed.

The federal government might reimburse the states at 80%.

I have had this tagline for a few weeks now.

[Brian Griffin]

To pay 30 million people $400 per week of unemployment compensation for 10 weeks should cost about $120 billion.

Spending $2 trillion is not justified.

COVID-19 Probably Won't Destroy Society, but the Government's Reaction Might

Methinks it is more accurate to say that the government's reaction to the media over-reaction might destroy our economy and society will keep plugging along.
