Sad ain’t it?! I’d rather die going back to work and trust God not what the mediaVOMITS hair on fire say!! I’ll say it again the mediapukes are enjoying every bit of their hair on fire pandemic re amok..just this morning a reporter for our local news outlet was reporting of a “MIGHT” food shortage..do you know what that does to our mental psych?! PANIC!! Will this botch be held accountable by the station..absolutely NOT!! This is a media virus and the president has been HAD!! President NEEDS to go tour hospitals where the china virus folk are..he can wear a PPE or a hazmat suit!! HE NEEDS TO GET HIS BUTT OUT THERE AND SEE FOR HIMSELF!! FAKENEWS CBS reporter use an Italian hospital clip reporting that the hospitals in New York were being overwhelmed with China virus patients! What does that tell you? I’m sorry but if Trump doesn’t get on gear and get people back to work like the middle of this week it’s going to be very difficult for him come 2020! I am telling you people are furious about the April 20 deadline! So what happens after April 20? extend it to May 20? And so on and so on!! China the globalist and the swamp are at this moment celebrating the demise of our economy and president!

We ain’t seen nothing yet like what will happen if the stock market and corporate financial systems totally collapse. We don’t have much in the way of family farming anymore. It’s all big corporate business now. Farming, processing, packaging, transportation, distribution, retailing, etc, is all conducted and carried out by big corporations that require big corporate finance.

Being out of toilet paper is bad, but what happens when there is no food on the shelves in your local supermarket?

Set our people free to work and produce!

There are multiple ways that the intentional destruction of the economy will cause many more deaths from the virus. An increase in suicide, domestic violence, homelessness, and eventually malnutrition and a lack of prescription drug coverage for people who are permanently laid off. For ever action there is a reaction. I think President Trump understands the risks, but he has no support for his position within the gutless GOP. If he tries to reopen the economy without broad based support, McTurtle and the others will hang him out to dry. We just have to hope the virus will subside before the economy is permanently damaged.

This is correct. The government does not have infinite resources. It takes money from those who earn it and gives it to those who don’t. When no one is working, there is no money, and you get inflation and poverty.

yes, An increase of suicides due to each 1% increase in unemployment is estimated to be a low of 4,000 to 40,000. With a projected unemployment rate of 30% , the annual deaths from suicide may be as high as 120,000 to 1,200,000 and may exceed that of deaths from COVID-19.

President Trump yesterday also mentioned the potential for death from stress and anxiety, very true for those with other conditions, especially the heart, blood pressure, stroke, etc.

Depression —> suicide

Desperation —> self-medication, drugs, alcohol

Stress/Anxiety —> heart, stroke

Some of us have been saying for awhile now that the economic calamity from a locked down economy will dwarf the damage this virus could cause on it’s best day. It could literally take 10+ years to recover from this economically, assuming socialism isn’t fully implemented in the interim.

You see, here is how it works.

Dr. Fauci the All Knowing relies on projections based on assumptions and models and they are sacrosanct. They are to be believed and cast in gold.

Predictions of the collateral damage based on assumptions, etc? Not so much. That is mere speculation and conjecture and alarmism and being dramatic.

Funny how that works.

All true. What’s more, people have to grow our food, create our electricity, provide clean water, law enforcement. There’s a whole bunch of folks that we cannot allow to “just stay at home”. We have an “essential core” that at minimum has to function. IMHO what will happen is when the trend is clearly downward, other “less essential” services will be added back in. With a whole lot of monitoring. Restraints and bars may have to have “regulators” for a while that supervise appropriate precautions. (No spitting on police burgers.) just mu guesses.
