You get both the full brunt of the virus alongside economic collapse. Instead of discussing the very real results of a demand collapse and how to address that, we get borderline eugenics posts attempting to throw more meat back into the grinder.

Those of us who want lockdown, were the ones causing the harm. Not the lack of a safety net, not the collapse of consensus, not the completely incompetent response, and never the fact that the copper has been so thoroughly stripped from the global supply chains that you couldn't even get enough masks into the country with a several months headstart.
