People are "rooting" for this to get worse the same way liberals are "rooting" for hcq to fail.

You can’t detect the “hint” of sarcasm in the OP?

Absolutely pathetic we crashed our economy, wrecking millions of people’s lives, over what amounts to a bad strain of the common cold.

And all the useful idiots (AKA “Karen”) are still on Facebook screaming how it’s stupid we are even considering reopening the economy.

Sweden and Michigan both have a population of 10 million.

Michigan, in total Coronavirus lockdown, has 34,000 cases with 2,813 deaths.

Sweden, open with no Coronavirus lockdown, has 16,000 cases with 1,509 deaths.

It is UNDENIABLE at this point that the lockdown is absolutely pointless, insane, and idiotic.

I never thought I’d see the day we put 30+ million people on unemployment intentionally. Much less for a virus with a mortality rate less than 2% and in reality probably WAY lower

AOC is out there mocking the desire to get back to work and telling people to “just say no” if asked to go back to work.

I couldn't give a shite whose fault it is, this is really unfortunate all the way around. I've been trying to figure out a bright side and the only thing I can think of is the children being brought up now, might have the same reserve, might, stoicism, and practicality that the generation spawned during the depression developed.

We called that previous generation the greatest. Maybe this generation can be great as well. Good luck out there, baws. In the end, we're all in this together.

Keep your stick on the ice.

These numbers will continue to get worse for a period. Companies are just now feeling the cash pinch

I hope the Karens realize that eventually their husbands' cushy high-dollar job will be lost if this lockdown goes on long enough.

I never thought I would see the day where we put millions on UE intentionally and then morons thought it was no big deal.

Where is everyone who said we would just bounce right back from this?

Can’t wait to see that bounce.
