Here is a good analysis from Michael Burry. Right now, we have the economy shut down to preserve the lives of a few at the expense of the many (and yes, economic damage results in deaths as well, likely more deaths than the virus itself).

Which close family member (mom, dad, sibling, child) would you be willing to let die to get everyone back to work?

How many economically influenced drug addictions and suicides will you trade to keep your 90-year-old grandmother alive for an extra 6 months?

Siblings first, parents next.
Record number of deaths today. Seems like as good a time as any.

My dad was a doctor and we can't have a funeral for him. He picked saving lives over his own. I get you are too stupid to understand my point and so are unable to see the fallacy of trying to equate your example to mine. However, your believe that only 90 year old grandmothers with 6 months to live will die is exactly why I made my point. That's not only who will die.

People who die of drug addiction and suicide willfully make those decisions. People who die from the corona virus don't go looking for a virus dealer or order extra viruses from their doctor. The also don't pick up a corona virus and blow their brains out or slit their wrists.
Answer this then- who do you think will be suffering the most from an economic depression? How many lives will be impacted- how many deaths will occur and how many generations will that impact? And I'm even saying this using the "approved" figures for COVID deaths which omit many items and are fraught with misrepresentations.
Best guess figures will do.
On the other hand omit Madrid, N Italy region, NYC, Tehran and N China region and with we are talking primarily 65 plus WITH pre-existing conditions and what we have here does not equate to anything like a pandemic.
Why do you think there are such preponderances of death in those areas I specified?
Please stop with the virtue signalling- it's gone beyond tedious.
Trump's un-American shut down policies will lead the country into the biggest depression it has ever encountered. Has any leader in history ever led their country into total economic disaster for such a ridiculous reason as this?
Trump fought the Governors to keep the country open. They each made decisions for their individual states.
The response to the coronavirus is without question going to cause substantial harm; far more harm than the virus.
The death statistics are a complete mess as has been repeatedly demonstrated. Just the lack of distinction between deaths ‘with’ the virus and deaths ‘of’ the virus, shows them to be hopelessly exaggerated.
The role of psychological disposition towards panic needs to mentioned. Some people are addicted to the rush of fear and anxiety they continually subject themselves to by reading yet another corporate media hype-job. They have an addiction to watching various forms of fear porn on their TV's and worse they live in that reality on a daily basis. They not only see that as "their" reality but project it out into the world.
The other smaller but very loud group are the “#StayHomeSaveLives” who now have a platform to perform in, it's their newly minted melodrama where they get to play some kind of "hero of humanity" and gain meaning from participating in this "movement."

Agree
How wrong you are. People who commit suicide have mental illness. Do you scold the person who dies if leukemia? That is a disease also. Actually, most of the Corona deaths have pre-existing conditions caused from years of smoking or overeating or lack of exercise.
Not sure I'd give credence to an article titled "Investor believes...".

Trump didn't fight jack. He's the president and he's all in on shutting down the entire country. He just extended the shut down. He's got a whole "task force" on this dedicated to shutting down damn near everything.
No way. He is losing millions on his hotels and golf courses.

Which one will you pick under normal conditions because tens of thousands will be lost in car crashes? So if we shut down the economy and allowed nobody to travel other than semi trucks, we could save those children and parents and grandparents. How can we live with ourselves doing leisure travel?
