yeah

they had no idea how high the mortality rate was but they knew it had a long as fuck incubation period.

I'm glad they responded they way they did because, I'm happy it wasn't as bad as it could have been, and I'm sad the government isn't taking care of people health wise and economically

reasonable fear caused the lock down but the government failed to take care of us in the long term

Hello Russia.

America here. We're going to shut it down again in a month or two. Expect rolling blackouts in your America-dependent 'economy' until we get a working vaccine.

>> No.19508828

It is. It made the expected crash come earlier while everyone saw it ahead. Might even call it "controlled". Since businesses now could restructure (or bankrupt) with everyone's blessing, the recession is weakened rather than hitting as hard as they usually do. Yes it sucks, but overall it's better than other crashes. This allows for a quicker recovery.

No.

This was massively overblown by the media (both for profit and perhaps for political ends) and "scientists" like pic related.
Best proof is the MSM immediately ceasing the shutdown denier witchhunt as soon as the race riots started.

well, with the chimpout going down in muttland and rampant ronachan, we shall see if it was worth it or not. if the whole country doesn't catch it and the millions die as per the 'experts' warnings, then it was worth it. If not then it'll go down as a knee-jerk reaction driven by media hysteria. Mutt's are a live action petri dish atm and it is glorious.

This too.
This corona thing was a controlled pop of a bubble that was starting to get worrying.
The economy flash crashed worse than 1929, but for a singular identifiable reason (virus) rather than a sudden crash in general public confidence.

It's an extremely fortunate turn of events.

If you have corona, the only way it isn't going to kill you is if a cop kills you first...in that case your death has a higher purpose than inflating pandemic numbers

I'm just saying pavement apes were never held under strict lockdown scrutiny by the media like right wingers were.

Also, this whole corona thing did do the economy a big favor by providing a controlled pop of a serious bubble that was forming.

All of the unrelated deaths where a person may have had possible corona symptoms are being counted as covid deaths and the hospitals and local governments have an incentive to do so. Then you have all of the mild or asymptomatic cases where people don't bother getting tested especially since there's always been test shortages and it's a pain in the ass to do so.

The death numbers are being inflated and the infection numbers are being heavily undercounted. The mortality rate is way below 1%
