The cure can't be worse than the problem.
As unemployment approaches 20%, each 1% rise can result in 3.3% spike in drug OD/ 1% increase in suicides (National Bureau of Economic Research.) If unemployment hits 32%, ~77,000 Americans may die as a result. Will economic fallout mortality be greater than the virus itself?

I have been telling
@GovMikeDeWine &@DrAmyActon this. We had 5 deaths in 24 hrs a few days ago, and while that’s awful, this is what I had predicted and is much worse. - Show replies
