I wasn't there, but it isn't hard to imagine....in the first few weeks of WW1....some folks said "this isn't so bad" or, "this seriously hasn't even killed many people"

I'll admit this wasn't as easy to pin down as the tow-truck and Wisky -- largely because Wisky kept giving hints -- but count = Vega.

Economic Shutdown Is Estimated to Save 600,000 American Lives

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles ... ican-lives
Economists led by Northwestern University’s Martin Eichenbaum wrote that keeping social-distancing measures in place before the number of new virus cases declines -- in other words, before a peak in the infection rate -- could limit infections and prevent as many as 600,000 additional U.S. deaths.

[...]

“There is an inevitable trade-off between the severity of the recession and the health consequences of the epidemic,” the economists wrote in a working paper distributed this week by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Under a worst-case scenario, with stores remaining open and no social isolation policies, as many as 215 million Americans could become infected and 2.2 million could die from the spread of the virus, the economists’ data shows.

The choice is between:

- a very hurtful major recession caused by social distancing and probable lockdown hopefully managed by economic stimulus

or

- an economic collapse caused by the breakdown of our health system due to hundreds of thousands/millions(?) of deaths and tens of millions of hospitalizations, that cannot be managed by a stimulus.

Right - the "go back to work" people cannot respond to the question of why exactly anyone should think that wouldn't cause an even WORSE economic outcome.

Who has made a mint violating professional norms and standards.

In order to get the guy whose greatest crime is violating norms and standards.

She's right, though, about this episode exposing psychiatric illnesses.

Just not sure she has the right patient.

It's difficult to separate this particular topic and the failure of our administration, but colbond already locked a thread, and i'm considering moving this one to the poli-bored.

( kinda why i stopped posting about the topic )

You'll still be able to post on it but you'll have to wade into the muck.

We'll see how the next page goes.

A smart path for establishing when we can go back to work is tying it to declining death rates (whether measured directly, or whether by days-to-doubled).
Sure they work. They also destroy mental health and there will be no economy to come back to. Seems like there's gotta be a reasonable middle ground somewhere.
Psych, you sound like the voice of lockdown experience.

But even a lockdown isn't a guarantee.

Not sure why you're attacking me personally for sharing my opinion, but if it makes you feel better, attack away.
