President Donald Trump is considering easing health directives that prevent the spread of the coronavirus in an attempt to contain economic fallout. A new analysis suggests that those measures are helping to save hundreds of thousands of lives.
Economists led by Northwestern University’s Martin Eichenbaum wrote that keeping social-distancing measures in place before the number of new virus cases declines -- in other words, before a peak in the infection rate -- could limit infections and prevent as many as 600,000 additional U.S. deaths.
While the economic damage is deeper when optimal health measures are taken, a recession is unavoidable even without them, as infected people would stay at home to recover and millions die, the report shows.

That number seems a tad bit high

So now we are supposed to take medical predictions from economists and economic predictions from scientists?

Jobs saved. Lives saved. Unicorns saved...

Even if this were true- which it is not- the lives "saved" by this are merely staving off death by a few weeks/months.
The majority of the people dying from this were on death's door anyway.

They really want the economy to be completely ruined

Bloomberg is a pure propaganda machine for that clown, Mini Mike

While the economic shut down caused 750,000 people jumping out of the window.

Well, yeah. If you force millions of people to sit at home on their asses, the likelihood that they would die living their lives decreases a ton.
No shite.
This is as brilliant as "climate change".
It is easy to own every side of an argument when you can lie.

Everyone on this board should order this book and read it. After you have read it once, read it again.

Not only will you be able to sniff out the horseshite like presented in the OP, you will even be able to sniff out the good propaganda that most can't pick up on.

600,000....why not 900 million? Silliness (as Black Helicopter Pilot would say)

It's obvious now this whole thing is a deliberate hoax, the overreaction not the virus, so Trump should just drop all restrictions and tell everyone to go back to work and their normal lives and tell Congress and Senate to drop the stimilus.
This was an attempted trap set by the left wing and we just need to stop playing. It's all bullshite
