A killer of whom? Old people and people that were already sick? I hate to sound cold but was that worth 8 trillion dollars and twenty million jobs?

There’s 8 million people in New York City. How many have died?

1% would be 80000. We destroyed an economy for a percentage of 1%

Yep. Been saying essentially the same thing for the past 3 weeks on FR only to get flamed and attacked by the fatalists, Nervous Nancies and pearl clutchers.

It’s just the flu.

If it saves just one Democrat's ass, it was worth it.

They are going to find out that a very good number of people had it, and thought it was noting but a very bad cold.

I never said anything about whether it was worth it or not. That’s for society to decide. You’ve given your opinion. That’s fine.
I’m just saying it was not a flu. It was an unusually contagious and virulent killer, especially in high population density areas with significant mass transit usage. It easily could’ve overwhelmed the system there. I’m not sure it needed to be done in other places the same way.

What’s this “we” stuff? ;-)

Based on my calculations, we probably saved NYC, if the virus went away before May. :)
