I don't think you read my comment at all.

  Gotcha, in that case I think the point got lost in the mix. Would love to engage with it more though, seems like you're passionate and knowledgable about this.

  The problem is you start by comparing this to the flu. People are going to stop reading after that because it's generally a pattern of another idiot rambling. Don't write in that pattern if you don't want people to interpret it in that pattern.

    Yes judging from the responses that seems to be what happened. Maybe I could compare it to car accidents - we don't ban driving because the costs would be enormous. I hope that doesn't spawn replies about self-driving cars...

      Hey, we love discussion on HN, we honestly want to hear more from you - but we try to avoid the sort of meta-conversations where people end up reading their interlocutors as a united opposition with strawman positions. You should totally reply to them with more info about what you're trying to say, they're probably being honest about being confused :)

      Well, the difference between this and your examples is that it was a novel situation. The question always comes to would you rather over react or under react to a novel pandemic? It's also interesting that this conversation about economics isn't spreading more towards alright now that we have this lock down are there any monetary policy changes we can make to allow us to adapt to this? Many other countries have dealt with the economic consequences of the lockdown better than the US, despite being poorer countries.
