[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sick and tired of the way this gets framed as a choice between economy/GDP vs health. THAT IS NOT IT AT ALL. The choice is between real life vs living in fear. 
I'm sick of it.[/quote]

Correct.  That is definitely NOT the choice.

Well.... that's not what history tells us. 1918 flu killed far more people than this virus ever will in America, the economy didn't collapse as no one stayed home nor was there a shut down (only schools closed, I think and maybe some quarantines in some areas, but nothing like this). And the result? A 10 year boom afterwards.

It’s TBD how many COVID19 will kill.  We are barely starting.  The 191& flu took 18 months and killed an estimated 675k people.  COVID19 could be far more.

Also, what do you mean 1918 didn’t cause a recession?  Where did you find that information?  Also, that happened during a world war so government spending was high.[/quote]
