Younger adults still at risk

Is this how you admit that you indeed -are- willing to sacrifice people's lives to open the economy back up?
Odd, but OK.

 

Pure gibberish - you cannot demonstrate any of this to be true.

 

Would the huge imbalance of senior victims exist if they were not all corralled together in nursing homes and veterans hospitals??

 

herd immunity

 

Actually, there's been all this talk about testing, testing, testing. South Korea has administered WAY less tests, then the United States. So has lesser parts of the globe. Why aren't we criticizing THEIR testing efforts

 

Because Trump isn't their President.

 

The average max unemployment benefit is about $600. That's $1200 a week. A lot of mortgages could be covered by that. If you have a $400k mortgage over 20 years, $4800 a month isn't covering that. Now a $500k house isn't typical, but it isn't atypical either. There are a lot of people who aren't working and have seen $20k in monthly income drop to less than half of that. That's why people want things to reopen.

 

If you have a $4800 mortgage...you're likely working from home (so you likely are NOT laid off) and you SHOULD have some savings or you bought a house you can't afford anyway

That's a BIG mortgage dude.

 

In the early days of the pandemic...when each country had ONE infection... and when it REALLY mattered...they administered 65,000 tests...

AT that time we had administered ...FIVE

That and a really quick and solid lock down accounts for well they have handled this pandemic and how poorly we have

 

LOL, so everyone with a $400 or $500k house probably works from home? Is that "logic according to Lesh"? ROFL.

I'd say you need to get out more, but that might just intensify your hatred of the wealthy and successful even more. Yikes.

 

Everyone?

No. I don't deal in absolutes.
But a 4800/month mortgage costs over 57K a year.JUST IN MORTGAGE. That's after tax of course.

SO what kind of income are we talking about there? $150K and better? What kinds of jobs would those be?

Cmon ...chip in here. I'm doing most of the heavy lifting

 

1) A $4800/month mortgage payment is generally not "JUST MORTGAGE", it generally includes homeowners insurance and property taxes also.

2) Plenty of people ---- I daresay most of them ---- earning that kind of money don't work from home.

3) There are plenty of jobs which pay more than $150k/year.

You've mentioned before that you're young, now I'm becoming curious just how young, because you seem to have somewhat limited life experience beyond the "all about me" stage of adolescence, but I think this board requires posters to be at least 18 (?)

 

Is that the norm or the extreme exception?

 

I think he said he’s 65

 

The $4800 figure was monthly income.

That's not really true. A lot major law firms have furloughed many of their attorneys. Halliburton has furloughed its employees. Oilfield jobs aren't paying at all right now, and a directional driller can easily make six figures. That's just what I know of here in Houston.

And I agree, these people should have some savings, but higher income inevitably means a more expensive lifestyle. A family that was living on $200k a year that's now living on unemployment is going to be incredibly eager to get back to work.

 

And you're OK with someone like that losing their house, just to satisfy your false sense of safety.

 

And an element of class envy, rearing its ugly head....

 

They ain't losing nuthin

 

You're talking about people making $200K that don't have savings?

Yea...breaking my heart

Wifey doesn't work?

Nice gig

 

More common than not. My close buddy who's an RT out in PA says 50/50 with younglings on ECMO.

 

I think reading through this and other threads on the Chinese virus, it is clear only a very small number of individuals refuse to accept the actual facts regarding deaths and probabilities, dig in their heels continue their rants which, following their posts back pre-Chinese virus, are nothing more than anti-Trump gibberish.
Trump's brilliant move was to shift the decision to open the states up to each Governor. If I were a democrat governor I would be very aware of the demands of my constituents. The protest rallies are forming and the election looms.

 

You avoided the question.
No one is surprised.
You really don't care who has to suffer, or how, just so you can have your faux sense of safety.

 

"Protest rallies"

A couple hundred morons with their AR-15s slung over their shoulders? Many of whom will soon be sick with this thing?

Yea...let's make policy based on those cretins

 

This sort of liberal compassion for the blue-collars of MI got Trump elected.
Keep up the good work.

 

And what gave you the illusion the young weren't vulnerable ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯
