cough" agenda "cough" ulterior motive cough"
When did they ever care about our health? I don't know how I feel but risking my health over a virus? Or living under martial law?
I get where you're coming from - but looking out for the safety of a population does not, in any way, suggest altruistic motives. It's always an economics equation. You have to look at the big picture here.
For one - if we loose a million lives, that is going to have a huge impact on the economy. It actually would be a pressure for inflation (less workers = less unemployment = more inflation). But there are bigger economic impacts.
I really believe that most of the people who are thinking this is overblown are focused on the mentality of, "I'm not afraid of getting sick."
But that is foolish because it isn't about the fact that healthy people won't get sick. It is about the fact that we will have a hospital system that is swamped with the sick people. So, great, you aren't going to stay home. You are driving to the gym and get into a car accident...guess what happens when you show up at the hospital and need a ventilator? Looks like you're SOL. But you were healthy and never got sick. Oh, and you won't be one of the X number of people who died from the virus. You will just die because of the virus tangentially.
This could be the very thing that takes out Obamacare for good.
