It is BS if you are talking about the current C****-** p******c. People won't stand for it! However, aren't they referring to future p******cs which may be worse and we need to be prepared for?

Or an excuse for more government control over the people.

The Mortality rate and the Hospitalization rate are the driving forces behind the panic.
If we can develop a "drug therapy" regime that reduces those rates substantially,
things could change quickly.

Kashkari, while acknowledging the downside of what a prolonged shutdown could mean for the economy, said the U.S., ‘barring some health-care miracle,’ is looking at an 18-month strategy of rolling shutdowns based on what has happened in other countries.
“We could have these waves of flareups, controls, flareups and controls until we actually get a therapy or a v*****e,” he said. “We need to find ways of getting the people who are healthy, who are at lower risk back to work and then providing the assistance to those who are most at risk, who are going to need to be quarantined or isolated for the foreseeable future.”
Kaskari was talking of another occurrence of c****av***s or something like a strong occurancae of an influenza season. Until a treatment for c****av***s or a preventative is developed it is a threat.

I don't think so,but I may be wrong . .....

Until there is a v*****e we will never be able to fully restart the economy. We need to test, test, test until we have a large enough database to draw a statistical conclusion as to how many have immunity and how many more are still susceptible to the v***s. If the majority of the country is still susceptible any flare-up can start it all over again...

Absolutely right! The economy cannot fully restart because several businesses have already fallen. All other things being equal, there will be increased unemployment for some time even if everything else was to restart today. People with lung issues and more susceptible to the v***s will need to take added precautions until a v*****e is available. It is quite possible that there could be another flare-up or two (or more).

If we don't get our economy cranking soon the curve of the downward trend will steepen. More and more businesses will shutdown, job losses will continue to climb and if we reach a 30% unemployment rate, we will be in a deep depression. Or worse.
In 1922, 160 German marks equaled one US dollar, by the end of 1923, the mark had depreciated to 4.2 trillion marks = $1.00. The unemployment rate in Germany at the time was 30%, one third of the workforce. Germans were starving, often with out electricity, couldn't heat their homes. A loaf of bread cost 200 billion marks, and Germans were burning billion mark notes in their stoves to stay warm or cook a potato.
The consequences of this economic shutdown could easily be far more lethal than the c****av***s itself.
We gotta be very smart about how we handle this. Unfortunately "smart" is in short supply, especially among state governors.
As Richard Preston pointed out in his chilling account (Crisis in the Red Zone) of the 1976 Ebola outbreak in Zaire,
"nature often does wh**ever is necessary in order to make the most experts wrong."

Is he the same person who wrote [I]The Hot Zone[.i] about the ebola outbreak in monkeys at a lab Army lab in Virginia, or maybe it was Maryland. I like his quote. I've read that someone where else once and had forgotten it. Anyway, they sure can't keep everyone penned up for long. I think we have reached a point where the cure is worse than the disease for most people.
CA and NY, with possibly the two most liberal governors in the country and representing a huge part of our economy could damage most of the country. CA is already a socialist haven. They are putting homeless up in hotel rooms. How long can that continue before the hotels want the rooms for other paying customers? How long can the state continue to pay for this and what do they do with them after the p******c ends and these homeless have nowhere else to go but back on the streets. The socialists in Sacramento will find a way to raise more taxes to put the homeless in some kind of temporary home.

We should not be allowed out of our houses until President Trump announces that no one is allowed to die from the W***n v***s and no one is allowed to die period. Anyone dying will be hit with large fines and not be allowed to v**e demorat like most dead people do!

You do know Pete that you don't necessarily need a very large database to determine how many have immunity and how many more are still susceptible to the v***s. It could be as few as 1000 to draw valid statistical conclusions.
