CDZ Is preventing one Corona death worth 1,000 people losing their jobs?

[MarathonMike]

What happened to The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? Our kids deserve better than being handed a crippled country hiding from the next big outbreak.

Sounds kind of socialistic to me. In America the individual IS important.

If America had limitless resources, then we would implement Dr. Fauci's fantasy of a National Shutdown until we have zero new cases of the virus. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think anyone believes that is a reasonable thing for us to do.

I say no. One person dying is a singular event. One thousand people losing their jobs has lasting repercussions. What say you?

Well there definately is a balance. buying some time to develop better testing and finding medicines/ vaccine is important.It will save a lot of lives, but at the same time, the longer things are shut down, the more lively hoods will be destroyed. The ramifications of that will also result in more deaths. Alcohol sales are up. People are eating bad. If businesses dont come back, standard of living will go down and people will die of other things related to depression and bad overall health.
We were experiencing an economy where every year there were more millionaires than the last... and that includes African Americans... all that will stop and the number of opportunities will be greatly diminished greatly for a long time to come if the economy is shut down too long.
There is a balance and tipping point to be considered. Trump was absolutely right to bring that up. He was looking ahead... and trying to offer some hope in that regard. Shame on Democrats who tried to say we are choosing between a dollar and a life. They are either extremely ignorant of how the world works or being willfully divisive.

How pro life of you.

I say no. Money is not more important than people.

However we aren't seeing just one death. We're seeing thousands. All ages too. From babies to people in their 80s and everyone in between.

Every one of those who died, died alone without anyone who loved them with them. Their loved ones can't have a funeral because can't have a gathering of over 10 people. Every one of those who died was loved by someone. That means something. People's hearts are being broken and lives are being destroyed.

Yes, life is much more important than money.

I dunno... is it really all about money? maybe you would like to see that black kid with the college degree in computer science to stay home in Richmond working at the home depot to save a life instead of getting that carreer for American Express and getting the hell on with a better life? Opportunities can potentially be lost here for a generation or maybe longer.

If this economy completely tanks... and we have massive unemployment you will see more death from things other than Corona as quality of life goes down.Yes.. stopping the spread right now. Its important but we need to keep our finger close to the trigger on this one and listen to the experts.
The Democrat line that we are choosing between a dollar and a life is actually a distortion of what we are facing here.

How long will we stay in lockdown is the question? How long can we keep millions at home waiting for a Vaccine? Will the jobs still be there when they say it's over?

The purpose of this shutdown is to buy time for the medical community to get a handle on this, and for supplies to get into production to SUSTAIN a long battle with this virus. Earliest possible Vaccine is in September.........Might get lucky and it gets moved up.. Summer might slow it down and we will watch this virus tear up the populations in the Southern Hemisphere.

This cannot be sustained long enough for a vaccine to end this..............That is NOT POSSIBLE.....unless you want Economically DESTROYED.

We will have to face the constant threat of this virus soon, and open back up. That is the REALITY WE MUST FACE............Sometimes Reality SUCKS.

That's why we HAVE to know how far the virus has spread throughout the population. I dont believe the virus BEGAN in Michigan 3 weeks ago. I think we just recently became aware of it. I think thru testing we would see much of the population has been hit and has already recovered and we are destroying the country for purely POLITICAL motives.

If that test is available then that would be a way to clear for work..........We had some bad cases of Flu back in January at work.............guy came in with a 103 temp and got the others in the truck sick......he left later and we asked WTF is wrong with you...........He went to the Doc....they said it was Type a and b Flu.............Does that mean they just guessed and it was an unknown.......Idk..........

If this Corona was here in some fashion then .......I may have already had it........idk.

I would be happy if they just started taking forehead temps to clear you to go back to work. I know that's not a perfect test, but we cant destroy the economy over this. Reasonable precautions are enough.

 

[HenryBHough]

Interesting how liberals who have no qualms at all about killing MURDERING babies are so willing to condemn 1,000 Americans toi living off the public tit than to let one adult die. Oh, wait, they believe that particular adult is a Democrat! I can see their point. With the probability of another Hillary candidacy they need every vote they can scrounge. Forgetting, along the way, that the dead overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

I agree. IMO the focus needs to shift away from all of America shutting down and shift toward protecting the most vulnerable people. We know the drill now, social distancing, constantly wash your hands. America can go back to work while isolating and protecting the most vulnerable.

Some of us were saying that three weeks ago.

But, the left could not constrain their collective baboon tendencies and wanted screech and throw shit instead of talking about it.

I posted something on Sweden not shutting down. They don't seem to be in the kind of crisis the U.K. is hitting.

Coronavirus: We Should Follow Sweden’s Example – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

For years, progressives have told us that the United States should adopt a health-care system similar to that of Sweden. At present, the most celebrated advocate of this approach is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Oddly, he has been silent about the Swedish approach to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike...

Saving one person is worth Dopey Donald Trump and the whole Trump administration losing their jobs.

No lockdown, please, we’re Swedish

Managing the virus is a long game, and while herd immunity is not the Swedish strategy, it may well be where we all end up

Then why don't you get with Sweden and convince them to lockdown.

They are not and have no plans it seems.

And they are doing just fine.

Is driving a car worth a single life? Many of you are unable to see the forest for your emotional trees.

Who's life are we talking about?

Because there are some profoundly useless people out there.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Again...

The fallacy is that 1,000 keeping their jobs is going to kill someone from Covid....or that shutting down 1,000 jobs is somehow going to save someone.

New York is fucked and is getting more fucked with each day.

People are losing their businesses, and not just their jobs. The difference may be too subtle for some but whereas people can get a different job if they lose a job, losing a business is like losing a piece of yourself.

Dopey Leftists like you and Nancy Pelosi must have a certain hatred for private sector jobs, don't you?
There are already thousands of homeless living in Pelosi's district and the place isnt getting any better... do you really want to see the ranks of the homeless become greater? Wheres your compassion?
Thousands of restaurants go out of business all over the country for example.. you think those are Trumps jobs? are you really an idiot? or just filled with so much hate it makes you sound like one on a regular basis?
So say a family loses their life savings they invested in a business .. end up getting divorced.. turn to alcohol, someone dies from a stress related illness, someone has to work two lesser paying jobs later instead of the good one they lost... and they die years earlier.. the kids end up having a crappier life because they see their parents lives screwed up..
there are just so many things that would happen if our economy is truely screwed. You just dont seem to get it, so it kind of makes me feel your some kind of government employee, or have some other income source so your insulated.
It must be nice.

Leftist idiots dont understand that. maybe because most of them are not part of the private sector or if they are.. they dont understand its the engine that keeps this country running.
