The evidence is below. Now who's lying> DannyTN or Redplum?
Economy was tanking before the lock downs.
Mar 20, California becomes the first state order lock down
Chart showing the stock market tanking long before the first lock down
Chart showing airline traffic plummeting before the lock downs. Keep in mind, the airlines have never been locked down. They were strongly pressured NOT to shut down.
Chart showing Restaurant traffic falling before first lock down.
Fall off in many industries prior to California's lock down.
Oregon restaurants were closed on Mar 17th, I know because my reservation was canceled and my planned surprise baby shower for a friend completely ruined. We did a drive by one later.
Anyway, that was 3 days before CA. There were many smaller shut downs in many states before the complete stay home EO’s were issued. Which is why the economy started slipping before the lockdown orders.
Staying locked down will cause a worldwide depression and the longer lockdowns last the deeper the damage will be in the economic supply chain. Bankruptcy of large and medium size businesses will also bankrupt their suppliers who didn’t get paid. Large numbers of small businesses failing can bankrupt the larger suppliers who depend on their small and frequent orders. The dominoes will fall in both directions.
