- medium_burrito 6y agoShhh we don't talk about that! The car industry brings lots of jobs and is nothing but good.

Deaths per vehicle mile traveled are actually up. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a34240145/2019-2020-traffic-deaths-coronavirus/ https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a34240145/2019-2020-traffi...
- ThomPete 6y agodomestic violense is up which hurts kids too. Millions will die of starvation around thec world because of extended lockdowns in te west and we could go on.
- viraptor 6y ago> because of extended lockdowns in te west I'd rather phrase it as "because of inadequate social support during lockdown". A few countries paying low support had money to do more. Blaming that just on long lockdown is missing all the other possible solutions. As for the effect on mortality of the lockdowns themselves, it will be interesting to look at Australia in a few months where the infections stayed relatively low, but lockdown lasted months. Especially comparing Vic to NSW.
