Speaking of politicians, did anyone else hear we can't eat rodent feces anymore because it could spread hantaviris?

We take lots of steps that are economically inefficient to preserve human life in this country, and for a reason.
So does economic failure, unemployment, and homelessness.

You don’t see it, but your stance involves the exact same thing.

That's what they're saying on the right as they advocate exacerbating a public health crisis. Just when I thought my opinion of them couldn't get any lower, they manage to figure out a way


So considering the impact to economy along with the pandemic is now a “right” thing? got it.

anyone who isn’t naive cares about what millions of unemployed will do to our society. creating a strawman about the market shows you don’t want to address it.

Yep. You still want to dance around it and act like everyone is only concerned with the market.

What is your solution by the way? What kind of quarantine do you want to see?

LOL no. This should be the one time we all agree that government invention to stem the economic fallout of this temporary health crisis is warranted. How about we start with something that's not a secret slush fund for Trump to dole out as he alone sees fit?

This debate is great because there is no right answer. It has been a shite sandwich from the beginning.

I hate trump but he is in a lose/lose situation. Quarantine and the economy goes to shite, people lose their jobs, recession turns into depression. Don't quarantine and people get sick and die. How many? Nobody knows.

There's no good solution but everybody is acting like they have all the answers. Carry on

i actually don't. politicians shouldn't be able to bribe constituents for supporting their decision to destroy the constituents' lives, simply b/c our kids and grandkids will be paying for these bribes

There is probably a middle ground that allows less affected parts of middle America go back to work soon (not necessarily tomorrow) and support the places that got hit hard and have to be quarantined longer.
