re: The price on this Economy IS NOT WORTH it @ this death rate- Sorry

Maybe hospitals should get their shite together. Or the feds and state health departments should have plans to make mobile, mass casualty units like MASH.

Im not sure you understand. The issue is not the death rate WITH the mitigations. The issue is what will happen if we don't take these steps you are complaining about.
The number you need to look at is the percent of people who require intensive care to survive and recover. That number is astronomical. If the ICUs get overwhelmed you have Italy. Understand?

I would rather be Italy now than be Venezuela or Zimbabwe later. How overwhelmed do you think ICUs are going to be when the country goes full anarchy and everyone who loses their job or home starts looting and robbing everything to get food for their families?

What’s the number?

A media, I might add, that has no fear of losing their job during this.

agree. i cannot believe we are cool with flushing literally everything down the toilet for this. there is no going back. tbh im kind of in shock i think. it really is going to get THAT bad.

and then i think; how many young members of our military have we gotten killed or maimed in the middle east over the last few decades? and for what? the nation pressed on without skipping a beat. again, something just doesn't add up.

I agree it’s not worth it. Invest in setting up temporary hospitals to handle the influx and a ton of ventilators and let the virus run its coarse. More will die because of destroying the economy than will die of the coronavirus

Italy is locked down right now, so you want to be a country where this is ravaging the health care system and is locked down economically?

We will loose more people long term if we destroy this economy. This is exactly what the ChiComs and Russia want. They could best Trump and liberty with fake dossiers and bad trade deals. But now they are laughing theirs asses of at us.

We will loose more than money. We will loos our jobs, our business, our tax base that pays our military and our teachers. We will have destroyed the greatest country man and god ever created because we are scared. And we deserve it if we are this stupid.

I would rather be a country that has tens of thousands of people die from this disease this year than be a country that has hundreds of thousands of people die in the coming years from the economy falling off of a cliff for a decade.
