>The other thing is that economic collapse does cause deaths also
you've completely missed my point: is there any other western nation claiming that what's at stake here is economic collapse (and consequent deaths) or the deaths of the vulnerable to the virus? i think the answer is no (but i don't read german/norwegian/italian newspapers so i might be wrong). only in the united states are we forced to choose one or the other. you should stop to consider why that's the case.
- cm2187 6y agoI am not sure I understood your post. Are you saying that other western nations do not expect a long lockdown to cause an economic collapse? Or that everyone agrees that an economic collapse is preferable to covid19 deaths?
- throwlaplace 6y agoi'm saying that other western nations have welfare policies in place that prevent supposed economic hardship and suffering from a downturn/recession/depression while america does not. simple as that.
