Watch Fauci play politics and lie over and over about whether or not he recommended shuttting down the country

[BS Filter]

This is a story about how "LONG COVID" may affect the economy. It doesn't say anything about what the cost of the shutdowns were...and certainly doesn't include opportunity cost.

I suspect you know this but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Business closures due to COVID-19 could cost U.S. trillions in GDP

As COVID-19 infections rise, a USC study projects that the U.S. stands to lose $3 trillion to $4 trillion in GDP over the next two years.

It's included. It's actually probably much worse.

I did not see where it was included.

What might COVID cost the U.S.? Experts eye $16 trillion

Harvard economists have estimated the pandemic’s overall cost at a staggering $16 trillion, an economic toll not seen since the Great Depression, and say that figure justifies the expense of efforts to combat it.

This reflects the cost of the pandemic as a whole, which does not include opportunity cost or even reflect the specific costs of shutdowns.

What I am asking is what is the cost of the shutdowns minus the cost of not shutting down.

I understand. Good luck. You asked how much the shutdown cost and I said trillions. Now you're playing games. I don't play games. I gave you the data. Now go **** yourself.

What lie?

You obviously haven't been paying attention.
Fauci has lied multiple times as has been shown on this very board.
You should watch something other than the MSM and CNN.

I asked a specific question. It is not playing games.

Use common sense. How can you determine the cost of the shutdowns without taking into consideration the potential cost of not shutting down?

He likes to play games.

I answered your initial question. Now you're asking another question. Do you think I'm new at this? I've dealt with players like you many times. You're not that clever. Anything else?

And it's a hefty price tag for a virus that kills roughly 1% of those who contract it.

That he does.
I see him resting on my ignore list in the near future.
It's impossible to converse with someone who is totally blind to whats really going on.

Oh, he knows what he's doing. He thinks he's clever.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Oh, he knows what he's doing. He thinks he's clever.

Which is a better reason to put him on ignore.

 

[Catsnmeters]

I answered your initial question. Now you're asking another question.

No you didn't. You showed me how much COVID cost the economy, not how much the shutdowns did. You also need to provide how much not shutting down could potentially cost.

Otherwise, using your logic I could just as easily say that not shutting down cost trillions in increased infections, long COVID costs (thanks for that linked tidbit), cost in increased deaths, costs to healthcare providers, etc etc.

Mindless bluster.

Not saying I disagree with you but 1 out 100 Americans dead who contracted COVID seems like a steep price.

You can't compare human lives with monetary cost. Two totally different things. Do you think Fauci is worth almost half a million a year?

Yet you dont mention how many lives were affected by the shutdowns.
Covide wouldnt have killed anymore than it did if we hadnt had the shutdowns recommended by Fauci.
In fact the shutdowns were far worse for the country than covide was.

Not familiar with the job market he exists in. Of course if you think he makes to much then vote for people who will lower his wage.

Too much. Not "to much".

You can't possibly know this.

Opinion.
