Americans are far more concerned about loss of income and finding supplies during the coronavirus pandemic than about their health, according to the Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.
Among registered voters surveyed, 30% ranked “loss of income” and 27% ranked “finding needed supplies” as their top concerns about coronavirus in their daily lives, compared to just 4% choosing “loss of health” as their top concern.
“Most (57%) have felt the biggest impact from the economic shutdown — either by loss of income or inability to find supplies,” Rasmussen said. “A huge number (23%) are impacted mostly by the social isolation.”

Their responses:
30% loss of income
27% finding needed supplies
23% boredom, depression, and isolation
4% loss of health
3% finding care for kids
13% none of the above

I'll file that poll in the "No shite, Sherlock" folder.

Half of that figure could represent a concern over their weight gain being made to Netflix-n-Chill for 45 days.

And the economy is practically closed for business because of this number. That sucks.

This country ( before it WAS a country) was populated by people who risked their lives ( crossing an ocean on small wooden shops) for economic opportunity
This country BECAME a country by risking death in order to preserve economic opportunity
This country saw people leave the established east coast to trek westward ( risky) in order to find economic opportunity
This country saw people build skyscrapers in very dangerous conditions for economic opportunity
This country had people mining coal and gold in very dangerous conditions for economic opportunity
Nation’s rulers have been overthrown for economic opportunity.
Now, because some people get sick and die , we have to cease all economic opportunity
Maddening

Damn, threads like this need to be made more often. It's rare I agree with something like this, but when the OP puts it that way, it's hard for anyone to disagree.

This is because we live in a debt society. Not many people outright own much of their own stuff, like vehicles and housing.
We are debt slaves. An events like this is good for reminding you of your place.

Ain't that the fricking truth. People don't realize how small those ships were.
These are pictures of full size replicas of the Nina and the Pinta. Imagine getting on one of those and taking off to find passage to India.

And in other news, bears shite in the woods...
Of fricking course they do, which is why during the 2008 crisis there were 5k additional suicides and if this goes on into May, you will likely start seeing that same thing play out.

So the public has remained sane, despite the media.
Has Netflix and Amazon blunted the effect of the news? I don’t watch the news. I’m assuming a lot of people don’t.
