An artificial depression created around the coronavirus outbreak by American leadership will kill thousands of Americans, explained Jacki Pick, host of the Jacki Daily Show on BlazeMedia, warning of the consequences of varying economic shutdowns across the nation ostensibly aimed at addressing the viral spread. She offered her analysis on Tuesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
In her recently-published article, “What a Prolonged Shutdown Will Cost in Human Life,” Pick wrote:
A prolonged shutdown could bring tens of thousands of deaths through spikes in rates of suicide, heart attack, missed cancer diagnoses, domestic violence deaths, substance abuse, and more. We have evidence that these deaths are coming, and the shutdown is only a month old.
“For whatever reason, we decided to artificially create a depression around [a once-in-a-century pandemic],” Pick said. “Leadership created a demand collapse for oil — basically gasoline — and then any oil-derived products.”
Russia’s and Saudi Arabia’s “so-called price war,” Pick noted, offered geopolitical advantage to the two states relative to the U.S.
State ownership of oil resources and production offer Russia and Saudi Arabia advantages over their privately-owned stateside counterparts, Pick added, given government enterprises greater capacities to endure losses when compared private companies.
“They’re taking advantage of the situation,” said Pick of Russia and Saudi Arabia. “They’re kicking us while we’re down. … This is their opportunity to take out the top producer — their top competitor on Earth — and they’re doing it and they are succeeding.”

Ten million people on Earth starve every year.
The lockdown has added thirty million to that number.
And it will be hundreds of millions by the end of the year.
But that’s a small price to pay for imaginary safety.
