Dude - it is time for you to head to Democratic Underground! You don’t have anything in common with a place called Free Republic.

You are too damn boneheaded to realize the real harm to actual health and lives that an economic depression will cause! Much more than this virus ever will.

PLEASE LEAVE!!!!!

So how many dead Americans or collapsed local health systems are you willing to accept so that the Chamber of Commerce is happy and POTUS cat get himself re-elected?

WHAT’S YOUR “ACCEPTABLE LOSS” LEVEL?

If we don’t stop this - or at least slow it, we could be facing 2M+ dead in the US. And that’s very optimistic, as most credible experts are projecting 60-70% infection rate if we don’t keep things shut down. And with a super conservative and very optimistic death rate of “only” 1%, that’s roughly 2.2M dead Americans. The actual number is likely much, much higher.

Are 2+ million dead and tens of millions hospitalized (many in the ICUs with not enough ventilators where many will die due to lack of available machines) “acceptable” to you to open the economy back up?

I remember stories from my Grand Mother and her friends of the "Great Depression". It was not pretty.

I see stormy waters on both sides. A lot of people will die during a Great Depression (lack of work, heath care, and starvation causing illness) and the Virus will kill a lot of people also.

Without a good economy we can not treat people who are sick from the Coronavirus.

We can not stay lock down forever hoping for a vaccine that might not come.
How long have we been working on one for HIV?

Great Depression: Homelessness, Starvation and Illness

I am praying Trump can guide this ship between the two storms.
