The bad news we knew for sure was coming hit this morning. 3.3 million people newly unemployed and that count will continue to rise as long as we continue the mandatory shutdown. The amount was in the range predicted from 2 to 4 million. This does not reflect all the self employed who are trying to keep their businesses afloat who aren't on those rolls.
Daily we see conjecture from the talking heads about what the corona virus may do. Yet things were much worse in 2018 from the flu, per the CDC "Nationally, mortality attributed to P&I exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, peaking at 10.8% during the week ending January 20, 2018." 900,000 were hospitalized and there were an estimated 80,000 deaths. I don't remember a panic during that year do you?
So what we have is conjecture creating projections creating panic and government control of the whole economic structure of the country. The certainty of economic devastation was ignored by our leaders and the general public as we were fed the 24/7 media panic. Rational thought and preventive measures would not have eliminated every death but it could have limited the deaths and avoided this economic catastrophe.
Even if we fully turned the country over to the medical community that would not have stopped the deaths. A note to the medical community---Why have there not been a call to close abortion facilities and free up their ventilators, masks and other medical items to help save lives? A conundrum that may tell you a lot more about those calling for an economic shutdown who keep telling us it is about saving lives.
