If you're more concerned about the economy than people dieing you are a sociopath.
Matt, another juvenile name caller. Awesome. You will find some buddies here.
The economic impact of shutting down our economy is projected to cause many more deaths in the long run than the Covid19 itself.
An excerpt:
The total deaths attributable to the COVID-19 response, from just this limited examination, are estimated to be:
- Suicides 59,000
- Drug abuse 87,000
- Lack of medical coverage or treatment 1,350,000
- Poverty and food access 780,000
These estimates, totaling more than two million deaths above the estimated 150,000 expected from the virus itself, do not include other predictable issues with the COVID-19 response.
UPDATE: Since this article was posted, the official model projected expected deaths directly attributable to Covid19 are well below 100,000.
