[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]there's no magic pot of money for perpetual government assistance.  High unemployment and prolonged lockdowns will cause civil unrest. You don't care about job losses because you can afford to hunker down in your comfortable house with your adequate savings while millions suffer.

Mortality rate less than 2%.  We have ramped up our medical preparedness, and there are empty beds and unused ventilators even in "hotspots".  Drug overdoses, suicide, influenza, heart disease, cancer kill more people annually. Crazy anti-vaxxers will never immunize. We need herd immunity to squelch the virus, not hiding in our homes.

The WHO is in China's pocket, the director is corrupt.  If they are squealing about funding, let China fund them.  China pays about 10% of what we pay the WHO, and they can afford more.

Since you had to make it about Trump, I'll flip the script.  This plan to control everyone's movements, make people dependent on government payouts, and destroy civil liberties is a leftist wet dream.  Don't pretend you're not enjoying this.[/quote]

There actually is a magic pot of money -- the US Mint. None of us enjoy the lockdown. But without a vaccine, widespread testing, or near total adoption of PPE, opening up will only spread the virus. The choice between staying shut and returning to normal does not exist.
