In depth thoughtful analysis of the current state of the coronavirus pandemic. Worth reading it in its entirety.
Summary: It makes political and economic sense for the US to suppress the coronavirus. For that, states and the federal government each have their own roles that they need to adjust.

Today in the VA shuttle van on the way home from Lake Nona, the driver had Rush Limpjaw on. What a dick. He is so upset about the economy and seemed to be really hung up on the "fact" that only infirm old people were dying. OK, perhaps that may seem so, to a point. But, regardless, COVID is killing many people in every demographic group. So, if we "open up and get back to business" who else will die? It seems that Rush wants to put a Dollar Value on American lives! How much do think your family is worth?!!
On a certain level a lot of the "let's get back to work" argument may seem somewhat reasonable BUT. NOBODY who argues that point says anything about the dire fact that it really does appear that between 25 to 50+% of infected people are showing no COVID symptoms and yet, they can pass it on and infect everybody they get close to. If you think that the hospital ERs and ICU are overwhelmed now, , , , , , just wait and see! In example, how are manufacturers expected to operate in a masked and gowned "social distancing" setting. Sure it can be done but the manufacturing floor space would have to be drastically changed. Etc., etc., etc., , , , ,. ------------------------- Dora Hates You Edited: 04/07/2020 at 07:18 PM by dingpatch |

All-in-All, a very good article. Althugh there will be lots, and lots, of haters out there who will say that all of this is simply pure Bull Shit and that we should just ignore it and get back to work.

Everything is a commodity, including human life, under capitalism.
------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system. In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer". |

I read through, well thought out piece. The author's conclusion is sad though. I wish it were true. However, we are in a country that now sports a motto "In Trump I Trust". I being Trump.

It makes political and economic sense for the US to suppress the coronavirus Do you really think so? Stir, did you read it? Faster more complete economic recover for cities that had a lockdown during the Spanish Flu. It is an extrapolation to assume the same holds true for our current economy. He clearly points that out, then intelligently argues why we should based on the available current data. There is risk with either choice. Intelligently deciding which has the lower risk with the best outcome for both Lives lost and GDP lost is the more prudent course of action. Though, I realize the indefinite loss of income is unsettling. Especially with the overwhelmed unemployment system, uncertainty about SBA loan/grants etc.. ------------------------- Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people. |
