      To put it another way, the economy is something made by humans and thus has a biological basis. You can't have what we think of as a normal functioning economy amid a pandemic that makes the entire health care system dysfunctional.

      Many of the cost/benefit analysis arguments are ignoring the costs of an overwhelmed health care system, with hospitals packed to the gills and doctors forced every day to make countless Sophie's Choice decisions about who lives & who dies. Consider the trauma of that.

      And if we're doing a cost benefit analysis, the cost will include the trauma and death inflicted on frontline medical workers. In Italy they're seeing doctors and nurses dying.

          Japanese media reports that a nurse in Italy who tested positive took her own life when put on self-quarantine. The suicides Trump claimed to be so concerned about won't be avoided by mumbling bromides at the podium.

          The message from Trump and the financial elite is that many of us must die for capitalism. Not for love of country or our neighbors or freedom. No. We must be sacrificed for the "markets." For Wall St and the NYSE. Our deaths marked only by Larry Ludlow's tears.
