[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 16382823, member: 166576"] Ill counter argue that in the midst of all these announcements of lockdown, kids either being sent home from school or having spring break extended, people being told to work from home; this could also be leading to a worse social situation. Add in social media and the 24 hour news cycle, its taking a situation thats not great but manageable and turning into a panic. We in the US have a population of 327 Million people. according to the CDC we have anywhere from 14,000-61,000 deaths from the flu each year. The spread from the CDC data is ridiculous how wide it is, but taking the 61K deaths per YEAR, thats .000184% of the US population. People die from disease. People also die from not having enough money, or being forced out of their dwellings because they cant afford rent. People are going to be seriously effected long after this burns through because the economy has been basically forced to shut down. Stop the virus, start the riots could be an after effect of all this. I see your point in that our officials needed to try something. And Id say it might work if we all held hands and sang kumbaya before all this. Truth is though, we didnt. Save a couple thousand more lives of a still low death rate and potentially screw over your society? Doesnt seem worth it. Time will tell who among us are right. I still think this panic in the market and society is ****ing retarded. [/QUOTE]
