I really think people don't think this one through.
Under age 40, the death rate is a little higher than that of seasonal flu. Looking at Maryland numbers only as a proxy for the worldwide impact of the disease: Between age 40 and 49, one out of every 162 infected people dies. Between age 50 and 59, one out of 60 dies. Then one out of 18 dies in the 60 to 69 age range. , or about 6 times the influenza death rate. One out of eight in the 70-79 age bracket dies, and for 80 and up, one out of 4 dies. Add in all of the people who have preexisting conditions, and you could be talking about imprisoning half or more of the country. And you really think THAT is going to improve the economy?
So, who are you going to sacrifice in order to let entitled millennials indulge themselves as they want? Who are you going to lock up permanently "for their own protection"? What is the effect on the economy of letting such a deadly disease circulate freely?
And so on. Really not a good idea.
What is the effect on the economy of letting such a deadly disease circulate freely?>>>>>>>>>>>>>
We no longer have a free capitalist entrepreneurial economy.
A socialists wet dream copme true.
Thats why we see Whats happening in blue states as hundreds of thousands of small businesses are forced to close down for good, creating a whole new dependent class, dependent on government rather than themselves.
This result is what President Trump is fighting by bringing back the economy as best he can. Radical socialist dems in every blue state are fighting him, extending the lock downs in the name of “science.”
It would not surprise me at all to see radical socialist operatives organize teams of infected Covid-19 cadres to enter red states in order to willfully create clusters of infected population in areas where the economy begins to do well.Wouldn’t surprise me in the least.
