Are we sure that the economic damage of the shutdown of the world economy out weighs the heath risks of the virus. Are we in group think here? A major recession/depression means a lot of people go hungry, lose access to medical care etc. Does anyone know of studies or research that looks at the health impacts of a shutdown vs. the health risk of the virus ? Just asking questions.
Is the real question here being hidden ? I am asking a legitimate question that never gets an answer.. that tells me something.
- TYPE-ERROR 7y agoIt's not being hidden, but it's not being discussed in the open because it seems to put people's lives second to wealth. This is a novel situation. I'm not sure anybody can make a good prediction about the public health and the economic consequence of this pandemic. Society's answer to this crisis could well result in minor recession followed by a boom of economic progress, fruit of innovations made in response to it.
