Put 100 people out of work and how many premature deaths result from that?
I hear that, but these are tough times requiring even tougher decisions. I know I wouldn't want to be making them.
Amazing how we think we are going to die if the rat race stops for a few months.
It will be interesting to see what life is like this summer and next fall. Produce farmers in places like Georgia are having trouble getting anyone to pick their berries and vegetables that are ripening in the next month or so. This was on national tv news the last couple of days. If the US ends up having trouble producing enough food, and since we know that the virus is impacting practically all countries so farmers everywhere may have the same problem, what will the food supply be like 6 months from now? How many people might die due to malnutrition as a result of a prolonged shutdown? This is why we need to end the isolation as soon as we are able; it is serving a purpose for now, but extending it much longer could be worse than the virus.
