    Most of the 20s crowd is on welfare and supporting kids . Most are drug addicts
    30s crowd about the same

    Older crowd tends to be a good mix of con artist and frauds on little money

    Who says things will automatically cost more? Price is determined by demand mostly. If a company finds cheap labor do they lower the price of their product out of the kindness of their heart? Hell no! They will charge whatever the customer is willing to pay and put the difference in their pocket.

    Apparently you’re the one who hasn’t read and has simply been swallowing what the leftist media has been spoon feeding you.

    The death rate for this thing is absurdly low and in no way justifies a lock down of the economy.

    It’s not bogus. It’s far closer to reality than the 3% they’re telling us.

    56,000 dead folks (and an additional ,2000 per day) say it's not "absurdly low"

    Yes it is if there are millions of people infected. That’s the ENTIRE point.

    That is the way business is supposed to be run. A willing buyer and a willing seller are where the two ends meet. Charge as much as customers are willing to pay and hope that covers expenses so that you have a profit at the end of the year. Have your CFO or accountant revise projections at least monthly to determine if you should raise prices further.

    If you don't have a profit you must look at laying off employees to cut expenses, cutting out frills like business giving to charities and political campaigns, look again to cut more frills and froth, look again to cut more frills and froth, or look at closing the business.

    And the reality of it is, THE more they test the lower the mortality percentages go simply because the death rate isn't rising faster then the test are proving recovered beyond hospital admittance's.. Once the 30min immunity test comes out then we are really going to see just how stupidly our politicians and Media hyped the bullshit up ;)

    A COVID-19 Immunity Test Is on the Way

    At some point we have to get back to work and take our chances, there is not enough money in the Sanders/Warren money tree to keep flooding cash around.
    It does not matter when it happens, all it takes will be one Covid case with a death and Trump is a murderer, we all know it. If anyone starves to death because they had no work or money, Trump is a murderer, hell next time someone falls off a cliff taking a selfie, I think Trump did it.

    Actually it shows that it can be addressed without that much effort

    You are confusing addressed with confinement and a sterilized environment.. Either is conducive to your health or immune system! But you do it your way ;)

    What the f.... hell? 55000 people died in one month!

    That is what you call absurdly low.

    Unfortunately the people who believe Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, ... and all those similar nuts.... they're the ones who are going to keep the number of people dying high for months.

    Your part of the blame will be for spreading this nonsense.

    That’s irrelevant when we are discussing a death rate. Assuming every single person in the world had the virus the death rate of 55,000 deaths is minuscule. Now of course the entire world doesn’t have it. But that’s an extreme example to point out you can’t JUST look at the totality of the number of deaths. The rate of infected DOES matter. And the more infected there are, the less deadly the disease is.

    You have to weigh that against the risk of shutting down the whole country which could cause irreparable harm to far more people than COVID could.

    That is one in six thousand and a large number of them already had health problems and there was a pretty good chance they were going to die anyway. Even very small percentages of very large numbers can look alarming until you actually spend a couple of minutes examining them.

    Oh God! 55 thousand deaths in this country in a month is a death rate!

    Do you even know what a "death rate" is? I mean... I wouldn't expect you to, given the rest of your post.

    No! 55 thousand just in the United States! At least (given that there are many reasons to believe that this is heavily under-reported)

    Where have you been? Do you even follow some kind of news... or just the echo-chamber? Geez!!

    Risk???? Where the hell did you get the idea that there is a choice? Either we shut down the country or the virus shuts it down, just on the sheer number of dead and sick people and lack of hospital beds.

    I don't think it's even worth it to try to explain to you why it's better that we shut it down while we still have some control over the spread of the virus. You'd probably need to be much more informed about this before you'd be able to grasp it.

    But let me tell you this: it has been the unwillingness of this President to do what he has to do that has making this worse and worse. Even if he had put all the appropriate mechanisms in January (there is a manual), if he had taken all the precautions (restricting travel to China was fine, but just a drop in the bucket) and taken all the actions, and had stopped trying to save the stock market instead of saving the people who work... we would have had a chance for this shut down to have been brief and maybe even localized. But every time some dope goes out convincing people that this is "irrelevant" (like the dopes on the Fox echo-chamber) , we take a step back, and people who might not have died, do die. And solving the problem as a whole becomes more difficult and lengthy.

    Yeah... I remember the last time a western country took steps that would eliminate their citizens with "health problems"..... The story didn't end too well for them, though.

    They can live off their own fat stores for a year or two.

    Failing that, how about planting a food garden? Even apartment dwellers can manage it if they're serious. Or they could .. you know, not live in an apartment. Trade that prison cell for something with land, even if it's a run down trailer on a quarter acre in Nowheresville, it's going to be about a thousand times better for your survival and sanity than an apartment. Not to mention almost certainly cheaper.

    a) no one needs meat.

    b) you have no choice but to keep going 'that way'. if you're not adapting to the harsh reality, you have no one to blame but yourself. the writing has been on the wall since February. did you read it?

    The better question is why were they operating as usual, and without adequate precaution?

    Virtually all your grocery products are pass through some kind of food processing plant before getting to the grocery store.
