[b]I will submit that you likely have no first degree friends who have had this illness or where you have had any sort of day by day account of what this illness is like for those who are impacted by it, but I can assure you, it is not like having a mild or severe flu. It is far, far worse. My friends who are recovering from it (as opposed to the ones who have died) are saying that the peak or the worst they really wanted to just die, it was that bad, and that the recovery is very arduous, some suffering chronic lung issues, others are very lethargic. This is weeks after. So it isn't like a little 3 day flu like thing that you just bounce back from[/b].[/quote]
Yes, I realize all of this.  Avoiding this is not worth causing a global depression.  [/quote]
If you realize this and still think it's "economy vs. health", then you are too dumb to argue with. I probably have COVID (still can't get tested, am signing up for NIH anti-body study now). I am a healthy, 42 y.o. who used to run and workout almost daily. I have a "mild to moderate" case. 5 weeks in, I can't walk up the stairs in my house without catching my breath. No one can tell me if I'm at risk of permanent lung, liver, or heart disease...but some studies from China are showing that I might be. I am exhausted by 3pm most days, and I am nowhere as productive as I was just this past February. Let's assume a in-between scenario (neither too pessimistic nor too optimistic) where my prognosis is mild, long-term organ damage...you think it wouldn't hurt the economy if hundreds-of-thousands of people in the prime of their careers ended up like that?[/quote]
