economic crisis death toll

[MasterBait]

I suspect the death toll and years of hardship and austerity due to the economic crisis that's upon us will be higher
and hitting us harder, then the actual virus, which only causes some mild cold for 99% of the population. I hope the lesson learned will be never to shut down the economy anymore for such a minor illness.

No, it won't cause some mild cold for 99% of the population, it causes mild symptoms for 80% of the population.

14% will require medical invention.

6% will be in such respiratory distress that they will require machines to breathe for them.

Exactly - moronic statements from an idiot. Though I felt BlueSharp's response with pithier.

This is factually incorrect.

However I am concerned people will start to think like this. That some people are too old or too vulnerable to live. That air travel should just continue so they can still have good experiences - if you get the virus and survive great - if you die oh well. And that maybe there should be no ICU units to save money - give people morphine instead.

As soon as you start that, you are immediately into VERY dangerous territory. Suppose someone decides that YOU are no longer needed? But it gets worse.

My brother hung himself a year ago. It is comforating that he was contented when he died - but for those he left it is devastating. The current crisis bought that out yet again - he would be very useful right now.

Suppose someone you know dies? How would you feel?

When any sector becomes any less human, it is VERY dangerous ground.

I might add I hope you don't get banned - I hope you can be convinced what you posted is very wrong. I prefer to convert people rather than abuse - take MF and autism.....

So a handful die of Corona who would have died anyway at the next flu or common cold infection. The whole world has to suffer a long lasting economic crisis. Most people here are idiots. But hey great this Dunkirk spirit of raiding shops and leaving nothing for the people who can s till think clearly.

I'd have thought somebody with such low mental capability that they must have trouble remembering to breathe would be a little more grateful of the preparation.

I wonder if Trump secretly wishes he could choose option B.

(A) Flatten the infection curve at any cost
Lower death toll
Major impact on economy and future prosperity

(B) Do nothing, let the virus take its course
Higher death toll
Minor impact on economy

By the way, you realise the Flu has a mortality down somewhere around 0.1%. This thing is anything up from about 1.5%.

To compare it to the flu or, Jesus Christ, the common cold displays an ignorance and level of stupidity that is truly hard to fathom.
