My stepdad is over 70, has a heart condition, and lives a really active full life.
If one more person argues for him to be sacrificed at the altar of the economy I will fucking end them.

It’s all well and good to argue numbers and stats, but I DARE you to look grieving people in the eye and tell them their pain was worth it.

And I remind you ONCE AGAIN, this is not a choice between health OR economy.
We already learned this with Spanish flu. If you don& #39;t stamp out the pandemic, the damage to economy is much worse. #79a95c5d797a">https://www.forbes.com/sites/pedrodacosta/2020/04/03/pandemic-economics-lessons-from-the-spanish-flu-in-1918/ #79a95c5d797a">https://www.forbes.com/sites/ped...

We ALREADY KNOW that what& #39;s best for the economy is an early hit, health recovery, then rebuild economy. That& #39;s it.
So all the & #39;economists& #39; claiming otherwise are just being contrarian for attention (or short term money) and honest to god it sickens me.
