All I'm saying is shutting down everything and staying home is not going to be a tenable situation for anyone for a long period of time. It certainly can't be the case until a vaccine comes (12 months or more).
Come on, Shy. You're always full of ideas. Your posts regarding COVID-19 seem to be.. incomplete. Explaining a problem then sort of trailing off. Very unlike you.
The point is that you can't say what your plan is out loud. I get it. You're being told that we should all get back to work and pretend that this isn't a big deal. For the sake of the economy. For the sake of the COUNTRY even.
But it's short-sighted nonsense. Imagine for a moment what 100 million infected would do to the economy. Think of the combined medical debt associated with that huge burden. Imagine what 2 million dead would do to the morale of this country. That many dead in a short amount of time would absolutely crush us. These aren't made up numbers, that's where this thing goes if it's business-as-usual.
So when you wring your hands about the DJIA being under 20k, think about the bigger picture.
