      One thing they might be thinking: prolonged lockdown risks an economic collapse so dire it would devastate us far more than coronavirus.

      Again, you can think whatever you want, if it's not backed up by good reasons, it's not a well founded opinion.

      Others in this thread claim to know how deadly COVID-19 is to a percentage point or so. Let's assume they're right.

      This means that the worst-case cost of COVID-19 directly is a relatively known quantity: 1.5% mortality (or whatever it is)...

      Plus great unpleasantness for, let's say, 20% of survivors. Worst case: we all get it. That's a lot of death and a lot of pain.

      On the other hand, the kind of economic collapse one might is less bounded. How bad is the "worst case" scenario? Harder to tell.

      What the fuck are you talking about How the hell does a huge swathe of the population getting seriously sick and everyone knowing someone who's died horribly of the virus have only "bounded" economic effects compared to the "unbounded" ones of lockdown

      In fact how does everyone's growing inescapable awareness that death is all around them not just lead to HAVING A LOCKDOWN ANYWAY Only, because of the delay between infection and symptoms, it happens too late to stop it

      Jesus Christ mass death - and widespread awareness and fear of mass death - NECESSARILY ENTAILS SHUTDOWN It is completely insane to argue otherwise, it requires forgetting everything you know about human nature

      This is SO FUCKING STUPID Any horrible knock on effects you can imagine for the economy from lockdown before the mass deaths are just as if not more likely to happen during or after them

          How STUPID do you have to be to think "Well, a bunch of people get horribly sick, a huge number of people die, and it's BACK TO WORK AT WAL-MART with no other economic effects" What the FUCK

          No, the worst case scenario of a maximum death rate at maximum speed is not "known" The mere fact of a 1.5% death rate is not "one effect" It contains a multitude of effects Long term social and psychological changes Violence, unrest, systemic collapse
