    It's crucial to reject the either/or being offered of the economy or saving lives. If the pandemic is not slowed down, the economic damage from the collapsed health care system will be immense, and will ripple on far into the future.

        This approach would dictate that students continue with lessons during a live shooter incident, because the police will eventually arrive, and the exam performance of the survivors might otherwise suffer.

        i don't have a degree in economics, but all i know is the most successful recoveries from a financial crisis have come from social aid. the great depression and the financial crises in denmark and iceland come to mind.

        And, on the flipside, competent government response can address both crises at once! It's a false choice in both directions.

        Random twitter shitposters have been proposing a sensible plan of universal cash payments, rent/mortgage freezes, etc for weeks. That the ideological straightjacket of those in charge precludes these steps but allows for the sacrifice of millions of American lives is horrifying

        We need not debate whether to let people go broke or whether to let people die. An unchecked pandemic would mean ruin to life and the economy alike. But people will not stick with the shutdown for long without a plan to end it. https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/whats-the-plan …

        It seems obvious to me the best balanced Covid19 solution is to shut down until we flatten the curve (2 months?), then go back to open society with aggressive test, trace and quarantine, except high risk citizens (elderly and immunosuppressed) who stay on lockdown until vaccine.
