    But let's not add that little bit more to what we are dealing with already. That last shovel full thrown on top of a 7' dung heap smells worse, and more imported Wuhan virus is worse.

    I'm not sure the same will happen in America. It is more likely that respirators will be rationed based on ability to pay. Those who are rich or who have the best health care plans may get priority.

    There would be a huge human toll to 30% unemployment.

    Whatever happens will happen anyway, whether you like it or not. Do you think people will still be going to work when we have 1 million+ cases? They'll stay home, no matter whether Trump tells them to go to work to keep his "magical" economy going.

    Italy has had 64,000 cases and 6,100 deaths. There's going to have be a lot of triage. It is right and just.

    Very good point.

    There are a lot of people will die at home because they are too poor to afford the necessary equipment.
