there are two ways to deal with this virus, one, everyone goes about their business, infection rate goes over 50 percent, probably close to 80 percent, immunity ensues, some percentage of folks that get the disease die, best guess 2 to 3 percent of those who get it. you can do the math yourself.Absolutely stupid and unnecessary.
second, short circuit the disease (for now) shutdown just about everything like in italy. few work, few get paid, economy gets pole-axed. we could see depression levels of market crash. and thats what im expecting. government is gonna do all it can to help working folks, kinda like the way they did the banks back in 2008.
born in the early 50s, i have never seen an event like this. its a once in 100 year event. best comparison is wwII. but in that war, at least folks could get together deal with the shortages and work towards a common goal. this time everyone is gonna have to shelter in place in their home.
this clearly demonstrates the fragility of first world nations and their economies.
