Was shutting down the world economy for 3 months really worth it?
Was shutting down the world economy for 3 months really worth it?
Corona has a 15% case fatality rate globally and in some places is higher than 25%
Nah but my companies revenue went up 3x for those 3 months and I also got 75k in a PPP loan that is going to be forgiven so I can't complain too much.
yeah
they had no idea how high the mortality rate was but they knew it had a long as fuck incubation period.
I'm glad they responded they way they did because, I'm happy it wasn't as bad as it could have been, and I'm sad the government isn't taking care of people health wise and economically
reasonable fear caused the lock down but the government failed to take care of us in the long term
I made over 10K in stocks without even trying so yes
Guy has corona but no symptoms. Gets run over by car. Recorded as corona death. Many such cases!
It's all about printing money.
Guy dies in his home or outside of a hospital, isnt recorded, many such cases! If you died because of complications due to something else you already had, putting you at risk, you died because the virus... not that other shit you wouldnt have died of at that point if not for the virus.
To think there's people that still believe this propaganda.
Absolutely cringe and bluepilled.
>Ignoring the long term organ damage
>Hurrr, but I survived!
thats ebola tier retard
Hello Russia.
America here. We're going to shut it down again in a month or two. Expect rolling blackouts in your America-dependent 'economy' until we get a working vaccine.
It is. It made the expected crash come earlier while everyone saw it ahead. Might even call it "controlled". Since businesses now could restructure (or bankrupt) with everyone's blessing, the recession is weakened rather than hitting as hard as they usually do. Yes it sucks, but overall it's better than other crashes. This allows for a quicker recovery.
No.
This was massively overblown by the media (both for profit and perhaps for political ends) and "scientists" like pic related.
Best proof is the MSM immediately ceasing the shutdown denier witchhunt as soon as the race riots started.
This too.
This corona thing was a controlled pop of a bubble that was starting to get worrying.
The economy flash crashed worse than 1929, but for a singular identifiable reason (virus) rather than a sudden crash in general public confidence.
It's an extremely fortunate turn of events.
well, with the chimpout going down in muttland and rampant ronachan, we shall see if it was worth it or not. if the whole country doesn't catch it and the millions die as per the 'experts' warnings, then it was worth it. If not then it'll go down as a knee-jerk reaction driven by media hysteria. Mutt's are a live action petri dish atm and it is glorious.
Do you honestly think the chimps doing the chimpout right now were obeying the lockdown orders these past months?
a lot of them were, it was being enforced wasn't it? now the entire country is lit up with protests everywhere, millions of people out and about. millions of bleeding heart lefties that would definitely have obeyed the lockdown are now being exposed.
No. The fact that nobody is concerned about the protesters being close together is proof of this.
>a lot of them were, it was being enforced wasn't it?
Not in the ghettos it wasn't.
>millions of bleeding heart lefties that would definitely have obeyed the lockdown are now being exposed.
Definitely, pic related.
If you have corona, the only way it isn't going to kill you is if a cop kills you first...in that case your death has a higher purpose than inflating pandemic numbers
Question is how does the rioting fit in? I see the burning and looting as a possible insurance grab as well.
My opinion is that it was a knee-jerk reaction and wasn't worth it at all. but we shall see.
>Guy dies in his home or outside of a hospital, isnt recorded
Jesus, how delusional are you?
Wfh is great. If my company makes me return to the office I'll quit.
i go back next week. 'business as usual' only I gotta get a fucking rona swab test (tonsils and back of the nose) once a month. it is fucking horrible.
>My opinion is that it was a knee-jerk reaction and wasn't worth it at all.
Mine too.
I'm just saying pavement apes were never held under strict lockdown scrutiny by the media like right wingers were.
Also, this whole corona thing did do the economy a big favor by providing a controlled pop of a serious bubble that was forming.
The world has been rigged against introverts for too long. The shutdown has finally shifted society in our favor.
yeh makes sense, be why the nogs got way more smashed by it that everyone else. It did indeed help quash the bubble somewhat, but she's cranking back up. retail investors spending their trump bux
Any business not wiped out by the aftermath of the virus, is getting destroyed by the riots.
The absolute richest in the USA are consolidating their power from this crisis. Their wealth has already increased by approximately 5 trillion since the start of the year.
>The absolute richest in the USA are consolidating their power from this crisis.
A record number of private investors caught the absolute March bottom of the single most acute stock market crash in history, while stock market whales like Buffett managed to sell the absolute bottom.
>A record number of private investors
still peanuts compared to what the handful at the top have managed
For boomers? No. If this had happened in the 90s, the GIs were worth saving.
>Imagine actually believing this
Dumb happening coofers
Whatever you say, blue checkmark.
All of the unrelated deaths where a person may have had possible corona symptoms are being counted as covid deaths and the hospitals and local governments have an incentive to do so. Then you have all of the mild or asymptomatic cases where people don't bother getting tested especially since there's always been test shortages and it's a pain in the ass to do so.
The death numbers are being inflated and the infection numbers are being heavily undercounted. The mortality rate is way below 1%
