Those are good questions.......I don't have the answers. What I do know is this current environment is not sustainable much past 4/30. You're a projections type guy........34-47M unemployed is the projection when this has blown over.
Question......is 34M out of work a fair trade off for 60K+ deaths when 94.1% of those 60K+ death are people over 70 years old??? Again I don't have the answer for that but I'm sure you do.
IIRC you're in your 70s so you can stay at home as long at you want. Society would be better served from it. That's a ridiculous question from someone who sees this a single issue crisis.
Jobless claims at 6.61M today. New record. Roughly 16.5M out of work since this crisis started. Real life lives being destroyed.
Let this soak in...1100 times as many people have lost their jobs vs those that have died from COVID as of this morning.
Weekly jobless claims report comes out tomorrow morning at 830 ET. Last week claims were at 6.6M. Under/over tomorrow? I'll take the over.
This needs to end!
Real data has never matched the projected numbers from models from day one. So if the number continually come in below "best case" projections, which they have at almost every turn, how long does this lockdown continue?
So why are reported pneumonia deaths down dramatically since mid January? A positive influenza test is required to be classified as a flu death. Right now COVID deaths are being reported based on symptoms.....not even a confirmed positive test.
So apparently now if you have health issues from 5G radiation and EMF or some other underlying medical issues and are hospitalized but develope a cough and die you'll be classified as a COVID death on your death certificate. Interesting way to pad the numbers.
So you'll be just be another unimportant and irrelevant statistic. Collateral damage. I'll look for your name on the list when another 5-7M come out on the unemployment report Thursday. Be well and hang in there my friend.
