"It may be harder than we think to determine the number of actual deaths strictly from COVID 19, given the close approximation of symptoms to other strains of flu and common colds-- not to mention comorbidity. Even 50K deaths in America, similar to an average flu season, would not justify shutting down 90% of the US economy for weeks or months.

This is plainly crazy and wrong. A broken economy, crazed fiscal/monetary responses by Congress and the Fed, not to mention egregious & illegal violations of liberty, are not all all justified by this virus. Our actions will kill & impoverish people, perhaps far more people than the virus. The lesson of Bastiat's seen and unseen remains unlearned."
