re: Everyday Americans want to go back to work

I don’t agree with this.
That's compelling.

That life isn’t worth the cost.
So is that.

Its going to do that anyways. The healthy population can just deal with it now or we can slowly deal with it while we don’t work over the next 7-10 months.
Correct. We could just let it spread more rapidly now to the point that it overwhelms our healthcare system.
Even better, suck it up for two weeks or so and move on with your life.

No worries. Next time, don't start off a discussion by being a jackass.

Maybe the 75-80% of Americans that live paycheck to paycheck, that could be without pay for weeks
Ok.
I'm sorry you don't know how to save money or diet and exercise.
Being poor and fat must suck.

Who's going to starve and go broke?
Not getting your McDonald's doesn't mean you're starving, fat arse.

Actually I don't really value money that much. I think if I could have done it over I might have become a monk or picked a simpler life, but I do have responsibilities and everyone I know has responsibilities that are far more threatened by the reaction to the epidemic than the epidemic itself.
You don't have savings? They don't have savings?
quote:
So you don't value money. Still the question remains what are you philosophically basing all of these responses around? Is it your pragmatic position in life or some ideology?
I'm not having a philosophical discussion with someone whose response to disagreement was to say I had to be a troll or benefiting financially from this.
People smarter than you have done that and decided on our current course of action.

You think herd immunity is acquired in a matter of weeks?
Why don't you go complain to the dozens of people in every thread claiming this is a hoax or it's just the common flu? Is it because you happen to agree with them?

Collect unemployment? A depression with the urban areas we have now would be hell and with such a small % of people living off the land good luck.
Don't be dramatic.

Maybe.
But they also sense that our lives are absolutely fricked if we keep this shite up for as long as what it’ll take to have an impact.
You’re about to see the power of humans’ want for self preservation. And rightfully so.
Our lives are absolutely fricked if we don't contain this shite.
We can recover economically. We can't bring people back to life.
quote:
Explain to me why healthy people, who have a very small chance of becoming seriously ill, can’t help grind it out and keep the economy moving forward a bit. People who are susceptible to clogging up ICU beds should be taken care of and highly quarantined. But why go farther than that?
That's how this will continue to spread. Letting this run rampant in the "healthy" population is about the worst idea I've heard.

Everyday Americans are selfish and ignorant.
It takes a special kind of idiot to use the results of an effective strategy as proof that the same strategy was a bad idea.

Stop with the hypothetical you idiot. We’re not losing 200,000 seniors juniors are babies.
We're only good with economical hypotheticals then?

Nah.
Life and death during the Great Depression by José A. Tapia Granadosa and Ana V. Diez Roux: "the only noticeable increase of mortality was suicide, with a noticeable decline of mortality in every other category."
Yeah, but you don't get it. People will be offing themselves by the millions because they have to collect unemployment for a few months.

Let's hope so. That'll be directly attributable to the actions we've taken, if we're that fortunate.

It doesn't. It frees up resources that might save my life if I catch it.

I'm already staying home. And I have Amazon. I'm good.
Bored most of the day, but good.
