    Guess Scott hasn't considered what happens to the economy if a few hundred thousand people die over the course of a month Hint: New York/Lombardy aren't hitting their economic goals right nowhttps://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1250416592363483136 …

    Based on what we now understand about #coronavirus, it seems clear to me the consensus of opinion in the country is that losing a few hundred thousand people (or fewer if we are clever) is an acceptable price for reopening the economy. I'm in a higher risk category and agree.

        This is the 🤯 thing with this argument. Avoidable mass illness and death, what a shot in the arm for the economy!

        My economist husband agrees. Smacks his head against the wall whenever people say we just let people die.

        It's like Fukushima-if people didn't panic in the face of invisible, inscrutable deadly threats to them and their loved ones, it would be so much easier for giant international tax-dodgers to rip profits out of the country, and our media could go back to sleep

        This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system. This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurve pic.twitter.com/VzBLdh16kR
