Yes there were deaths, the flu,bankruptcy and stock market crashes before this virus and there will be all those things after this is over.
However without adequate testing availability and no vaccine. Social distancing and the shut down is our best method to slow down the virus.
If your thought is do nothing people die all the time than I think you just don't understand. If you think we can't afford to shut down you also are missing the point. We can't afford to sit back and just let people die.
Do you think every city having NYC or Washington State results is good for business or the economy?
Without social distancing what is your plan for slowing the virus? Do you think this is all just a ruse and what we are seeing is a gimmick? Do you think the virus is for real?
Is China in on the gimmick? How about Italy? They did very little for awhile how's there economy?
Some Texans talk the talk but until it is them crying and sobbing on a gurney in the hospital they have nothing but self righteous bull to spew to the rest of us. It is always easy to give advice as long as it is not you!!!
So I understand your post. You are saying that everyone in Michigan is doing Thier part to end this pandemic with no bitchin ? Only a few in my state are whinening. Lots of us are doing what we can to not spread this illness.
On the economy, the prediction of an economics professor I had back in 68 is on my mind. He predicted the total govt debt would get so large that one day that the Fed would just say they don't owe anyone any more . Just his crystal ball but another what if to ponder.
