Absolutely yes, not even close. Just a slight bump in the murder rate from desperate people will far exceed the lives from the China cold
We are carving out our heart to cure a skinned knee . . . foolishness.
This is going to make the Great Depression look small.....

This is a very interesting article.
We should all do the best we can to prepare for rocky times. Then we should pray for our leaders. I am praying that if the virus increase flattens in the next four days (which I think it will) our leaders will share this with the public and things can begin to get back to normal. The economy can’t survive that many weeks of being shut down.
The question is moot.
The economy was going to shut down on it’s own just as soon as people started getting sick.
So maybe we shut it down a week early in hopes of blunting this thing.
It's ironic that Imperial College London's Grantham Institute is one of the leading global climate change research tanks.
On the one hand, they tell us that climate change is "settled science" based on their models, but on the other hand they tell us that "Computer Estimates Cant Weigh All of the Real Risks" when it comes to other things.

I still want to read this but the headline says it all. I am so piqued at my fellow citizens for this insane panic over a silly mutant flu virus.
It isn't the Black Plague. It isn't even Polio or Tuberculosis.
It was also used in 1852, in a retelling of the fable entitled "Solomon's Seal" by the English poet Edward FitzGerald. In it, a sultan requests of King Solomon a sentence that would always be true in good times or bad; Solomon responds, "This too will pass away". from Wikipedia
There will be no “Great Depression” unless, by some cruel set of circumstances, Joe Biden somehow gets the electoral college vote. Had the United States stayed with Herbert Hoover in 1932, instead of listening the siren song of the architects of the New Deal, we would have been out of the depression by the first part of 1934. But NOOOO, the “brain trust” had all the answers, and all the fools in town on their side, and the depression was WORSE in 1938 than it was in 1931.
We are still crippling along with some of those “fixes” today. Most of them were on the order of “kicking the can down the road”.
We all know the short answer. Yes.
although, I still believe its rat infested panic with seniors as the cover story...rats could care less about us whitey senior citizens...
Interesting search: Soros WuXi
The answer is no if you are are Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, bun Salman, George Soros, the Deep State, the NWO.
Will we be looking back in time and saying that Trump picked a righteous cause, that he fought the good fight, but the powers arrayed against him overwhelmed as his triumph was in sight?
I am still speculating that many hundreds if not thousands of people may have already have the coronavirus and recovered from it this past winter. It makes no sense to me there it just popped up in the last month or so in any numbers. I suspect it has been around in the United States in some levels since December, and many people have had it only had minor symptoms and recover at home Within a few days and never sought medical attention or testing
The money the Fed is printing and Congress is authorizing is all borrowed - the U.S. does not have this money. The average American has $400 in savings. With all the people without jobs, Congress will not be able to print money fast enough to make these people whole...
Depression combined with hyper-inflation, because you know that if this madness doesn’t end soon, the FED will be printing many more trillion$ of fiat to bail out the businesses ‘too big to fail’.
