Goldman predicted 30% unemployment. That’s worse than the Great Depression.
Great! Well then all cause mortality should decrease even more than in the Great Depression.

I'll say it-
Football season canceled or 200k seniors dead. I choose football.

Either is horrible. Having a loved one die in a hospital alone and scared is one of my worst fears. Knowing they may suffer a horrible death because of lack of ability for care givers to make them comfortable is even worse. That being said I think more would suffer overall with 20% unemployment

Stop with the hypothetical you idiot. We’re not losing 200,000 seniors juniors are babies.

I'll say it...later grandma.
And I would say that if it were my parents, who are both in their 80s with substantial underlying health issues.

Yeah, but you don't get it. People will be offing themselves by the millions because they have to collect unemployment for a few months.

We're only good with economical hypotheticals then?

I love my family but if I had to choose between unemployment and a crashed economy in my prime years at 29 years old and losing my grandparents, I'd have to choose losing my grandparents. All of them are in bad health and will likely be gone in 2-3 years anyways and they live out of state so I rarely get to see them

Collect unemployment? A depression with the urban areas we have now would be hell and with such a small % of people living off the land good luck.

So bring on the 20% unemployment rate. I've been poor, I've been well off, but I've always been able to look at myself in the mirror when I got out of bed. When it comes down to a choice between life and money, I'm going to come down on the side of life every single tim
bullshite. There have and are no doubt situations right now that selling everything you own and cashing it all in, you could save a single life..and yet you don’t.

I don't like to debate hypotheticals, but I can say with 100% certainty that my 91 year old grandmother would WILLINGLY die tomorrow before forcing her soon-to-be 3 year old great-grandaughter to live a decade of her life going through another Great Depression as she had to live through growing up.
Bingo.

We're not even sure if the measures that we have taken are even that effective. Crashing the economy makes no sense if most people will get the virus anyway.
