I told you so.
It's one reason I stopped talking politics with most everyone. Everytime I stated these overreactions to the Corona Virus were going to kick our collective asses more than the Virus itself, I was lectured about being proactive and that we had to do something. When I pointed out that locking everything down was going to destroy the economy which would destroy us, I was called ignorant or accused of wanting people to Die. If all else failed, the Trump cards was played.
Looking more and more like I was right. 30 Million lost their jobs in a month, and rapidly increasing. State and Local GOVTs have killed their revenue with their knee jerk policies which means huge tax increases. Then you have the feds. If people are so dumb to think that 1200.00 check was conjured up using chants and a bubbling cauldron, then said dummies deserve another huge tax increase we're all going to get.
Looks like Sweden had it right all along. While the rest of the world frets the dreaded second wave, Model predict Sweden won't have a second wave. This is because Sweden didn't shut everything down and the population has squired some degree of herd immunity. It seems as though the states here in the US that have done the worst are, for the most part, states that have the most tyrannical restrictions.
Before anyone makes a fool of themselves, Trump is a sell out, If Trump would have had the balls to do what the pols in Sweden did, then I'd entertain some TDS nonsense, but he didn't so spare me the loves or lashings.
As far as coping with the Virus,............
Covid 19 shouldn't be taken lightly. A lot of people have died. But lets put this in perspective. 98% percent of the world will be fine even if they do get catch the virus. If most of the rest of us would simply wash or sanitize our hands, stay away from other people, and avoid touching our faces, we'll be fine because in all likelihood we won't catch the virus. This is what the economy was murdered for. Are you ready to accept your sentence?
