News Is coronavirus a wild card?

Bout time. Ha!

 

Where is the car crash part?

 

I still say it is easy to bitch about current actions because you can't quantify alternatives. They are hypothetical. But for the coronavirus.2 outbreak we can look to see how Sweden vs. the rest of the world works out.

 

I think the analysis should be to estimate the amount of lives saved by locking down, and parking the economy - as opposed to the people that died. They would have died regardless.

And some portion of that money would have been spent either way, but the total cost to our economy will end up being much more than 4 trillion.

I think what we've done, based on the data at that time was about right - but it's about time to start up again. (of course, every Covid-19 death after things start up again with be blamed on Trump. Political games cost us so much.)

 

If the regular person does not pay their taxes they are not going to jail in most cases. For sure their wages will be garnished once they are caught, but very few people see jail time for not paying their taxes. You really have to work hard at not paying your taxes to see jail for it.

 

A very small portion of the money is for individual people, most of it is going to corporations and small businesses.

 

First off the money is for the economy, there is no price per person you can come up with that says we shouldn't of done what we did.

Literally this is exactly what I expected, no matter how this is handled its wrong. If we end this season of this virus with 60k deaths we did an outstanding job. We will be dealing with this for a long time unless there is a great breakthrough. It can take years, decades to develop a safe vaccine. The amount of lives we saved is worth every penny, and f you if you think otherwise. If 200k people would of died you would be saying its not worth the 20 million per person? And yet then you bitch and moan about government death panels, hell based on what i am seeing here you would be first in line to volunteer for them. heartless imo

It's all funny money, be happy that we are winning today. Hopefully we keep winning and don't see an even more deadly outbreak next winter.

 

The money is for power. Get it straight. This is overblown.

No-one is saying we should do nothing or spend nothing, but Cancer, Heart disease, etc kill more. We spend less on those.

The quickest way to power in a government is through money. Make the people feel like they need government and bam, you got them.

I am quite shocked so many people are totally fine with the money we are printing for this.

 

I dunno. The data before it hit us hard was consistent throughout China, Korea, Itally, etc. We knew who were the most vulnerable and then Trump let Dr Faux dictate (I mean "recommendations") nation wide shutdowns. I bet if you asked Trump what he would do different, we might of taken a different path there.

 

So if it is in your system at the time of death, it is an automatic cause or part cause of death....

This part is gold:

Comment: Although no testing was done, the coroner determined that the likely UCOD was COVID–19 given the patient’s symptoms and exposure to an infected individual. Therefore, COVID–19 was reported on the lowest line used in Part I. Her ischemic stroke was considered a factor that contributed to her death but was not a part of the direct causal sequence in Part I, so it was reported in Part II.
