re: Some people don't want to accept the data that shows the Covid impact hasn't been too bad

I'm gonna be completely honest right now, and I'm sure I'm gonna get downvoted to hell and back. But I don't give a frick about the actual virus any more. If I get sick, I get sick.
I'm really worried about the economics behind it now. I'm personally worried about my own retirement. That personal goal I set for retiring at 63 - yeah frick that. That's probably not happening anymore. I might be lucky to retire at 70 now.
I'm worried about my personal friends who got laid off from nice positions making good money. I'm worried about people who I don't even know who were laid off. I'm worried about businesses/restaurants/bars/etc. who had to close their doors for good.
And the recession that is about to hit us will be like a fricking tsunami coming in.
That's the part that scares the shite out of me. And here's the kicker: the longer we stay shut down, the worse all of that is going to be.
All of that is going to impact everybody participating in this thread MUCH worse than the virus itself. The virus will come and go. The aftermath will make a gigantic financial and economic scar on all of us.

Only by the doomcasters, especially the ones that still have a job and can provide for their families.
There are plenty of us here that agree with you that the economic impact these draconian measures will cause will be far, far worse than anything the virus did or will do.

Can we be honest about this no matter how “mean” it might sound......if a business or person, barring long term layoff, was broken because of a month shut down. It/they were doomed anyways. We’ve been shut down for a month not six months or a year. This is what I don’t get. Again if people don’t get their jobs back totally understandable.
