Jesus F-ing Christ.
What world do you live in? Seriously. You strike me as someone who has never had to run a business or earn a living.
Do you realize that companies all over this country, large and small are shuttering their doors and laying off millions of people? The federal government did absolutely nothing to help ordinary people, and they did next to nothing to help small business. And in a lot of states- unemployment isn't so easy to file for or collect the checks. I know someone in Florida whose been on unemployment for 3 months and has only collected 2 of the checks.
Most banks allowed people to forego paying their mortgages for 3 months- but as soon as those 3 months were up these people who haven't been working were suddenly somehow suppose to pay their mortgage bill for those 3 months. And every municipality in the country put in stops on eviction orders- refused to even process them through the courts- but those have recently expired. You are about to see a mass apocalypse of evictions and foreclosures that will make the 2008-2009 financial crisis look like a walk in the park.
The economy was tanked and the government did next to nothing to put stop gaps in place to avoid the collapse. Another shutdown ABSOLUTELY is out of the question and cannot happen. It will destroy this country.
THIS THING IS NOT THAT F$%KING BAD. Stop being a god damn pussy. Are you 65+? Because if you're not your chance of dying from this thing is basically ZERO. It's so god damn miniscule it's not even worth worrying about it.
Look at the stats- 80% of the deaths are people 65 and up. With a whopping 31+% of that 80% being people EIGHTY FIVE and up. 44% of all deaths were in nursing homes. Average age of a nursing home patient is 80 years old. These are the most socially distanced, isolated people on earth. And they still died from this thing. That should tell you they were going to die from just about anything they caught- even the flu.
This disease is killing the old, the unhealthy, and the immunodeficient.
An economic depression that rivals the great depression hurts as all and destroys an entire generation of young people. All to save the old and unhealthy? Yeah, no thanks to that. Take care of your fat ass and lose weight, and sorry but not everyone gets to live forever. If you're 85 and up there- your quality of life sucks anyway-and that was 31+% of all deaths.
