[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Oh, FFS. we're still going to be in a pandemic in 2024 at this rate.

If we all go inside for a year, this would remain true absent a vaccine. It is not going away regardless of what we do - we are not an island or a smaller country with ironclad borders. The only difference is it would probably move your date further out, perhaps by six to nine months. [/quote]

That would work fine, since they are predicting a vaccine will be available to the general public by then.[/quote]

Other than the $12 trillion in debt (that's eight years or so of federal spending) we'd need to incur to go inside )which apparently is money that never needs to be paid out of taxes or future economic growth - yeah right).  Along with all the debt that states and local governments would incur to remain functional absent sales and income tax.  Sure.  That works fine.  I am sure I'd give up eight entire years of federal spending and put states and local governments into debt for years so we can all stay inside for a year before taking the vaccine.  Does that work for everybody else?  I think that is the brutal fiscal calculus that people are either unwilling to discuss or unable to understand.  We'll just say that this line of imaginary thinking = that going inside and subsidizing everybody for a year -- comes either from people who don't work for a living or people who can work remotely for a living.[/quote]

Buddy, places are open and people are still not going out. At least half the people have voluntarily limited their social exposure significantly. People simply do not have confidence in going out they way they did before. You can't make people willingly expose themselves to unnecessary risks.

We are nearing the finish line with vaccines available this spring. When people have confidence the economy will bounce back, albeit slowly but there is little benefit to jumpstarting the economy when there just isn't the social confidence to back it up. [/quote]
