IF YOU WANT ECONOMY OPEN YOU WANT DEAD PEOPLE
I haven't heard anyone else say this, but if you destroy the economy to a certain level, there WILL be a death toll associated with that. People will lose jobs permanently, healthcare, insurance, homes, families will break, alcohol and drug abuse will increase, on and on and on.
Older workers that were heading towards retirement (15-20 years out) will NEVER be hired back. They're done. Employers will opt to use this as an excuse to eliminate them. This goes far enough, the level of crime and homelessness that seems likely is world changing. Young people just entering the work force will likely have serious problems getting jobs as well.
At this point, I don't know when you turn things back on, but at a certain point, it may be too late.
On a kind of related side note, there was a car observed parked along the coast highway north of Ventura. I was told the windows had all been broken out, the hood and trunk lids removed, the doors were apparently ripped off and the car was spray painted with "L.A. GO HOME!! FVCK SOUTHERS!" etc etc etc. A return to the old ways? Take your COVID19 and go home. Surf where you live bitches!
