      According to NIOSH, about 400 electrical workers die a year from being electrocuted. I assume everyone who is pooh poohing concerns about the economy will immediately stop using electricity because HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE SO YOU CAN COOK IN YOUR WELL LIT KITCHEN, KAREN 1/

      What's that, you say? Electricity and the benefits derived therefrom SAVE way more than 400 lives per year? Well, it's kind of the same thing with people being able to afford to feed and buy medicine for their kids with their, you know, incomes and jobs 2/

      I don't know what the right answer is in terms of a) when total economic devastation will become irreversible and b) when it will cost more lives than the coronavirus would, even under the worst conditions. I would say we're probably not there yet. 4/

      But on the other hand, maybe we are? It's impossible to say because anyone who even asks the question gets shouted down by people who lack the foresight to be able to understand that a second Great Depression is going to kill a lot of people, too. 5/

          I will say this until I'm blue in the face: now that the coronavirus is loose there are no available choices that will not result in additional lives lost and/or shortened. 6/

          The choice is between an unknown number of lives lost to coronavirus now and an unknown number of lives lost due to economic devastation later. 7/

          I am really glad for the impulse that Americans have to treat every life as precious and worth an infinite amount of money. It is one of the things that makes us truly special as a people. I don't want to run down people who are saying this too much. 8/

          I'm glad, in fact, that it in general guides our public policy decisions. I just hope the people who are in charge of making those decisions realize that both sides of this argument have a point. 9/

          Yes, the coronavirus is real and should be taken seriously, and allowing it to spread unchecked is not uncalled for. But also, yes, if the American economy remains shut down indefinitely, people are also going to die and/or live much shorter lives. 10/

          That is all. Except to add, if you don't believe that a protracted global depression will kill people just from inability to adequately feed themselves/buy medicine, consider the much more obvious deadly consequences: suicides, alcoholism, civil unrest, etc. 11/

          If you don't think what we've ALREADY DONE is going to cause those, then all I have to say is that I guess I admire your optimism about how humans of the modern generation will react to having everything they currently own stripped away from them... 12/

          All fair. I think the unknown at this stage is exactly how many people have the coronavirus, or even a realistic ballpark. Not the total number of those who have been tested but some idea how many total folks have it.

          Because if, say, 10x or more number of people have it or carry that have not been tested, reopening now would he calamity. But at least with that we could map out how long we’d need to isolate to flatten the curve for real.
