So, who pays when this is all over?

[Fear58]

So, suppose when this is all over, we learn that COVID19 was akin to the seasonal flu and the whole world blew things way out of proportion.

Collateral damage includes trillions of dollars in equity wiped out, massive amount of unemployed, and massive federal quantitative easing via stimulus packages.

Who pays for spreading all the fear and hysteria that wrecked the world? Choices in poll

Middle-class America. What's left of it anyway.

We should wipe out the treasury bonds they China holds.

How does that famous line go? Oh yeah. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

Which is why Bacon is going to be in short supply and rationed until we pay up.

They will give you a $1000 now and tax you $10,000 later to pay for the $1000.

The media is who I voted for. They are most responsible for whipping up fear.

The "sick map" is silly.
If they did a "sick map" for the regular flu, then people would be terrified because it's 10 times worse in number of cases and death count.

Without saving corporate and small business America, the middle class will loose everything and cease to exist when the virus crisis is over and there are no jobs/ economy to go back to work in. Looks like most of the Corporate support is being structured as loans that restrict borrowers from buying back stock , corporate bonuses/excessive executive pay. Small business will get a mix of loans/grants and forgivable loans.

The so-called 'health experts' who bungled this from the beginning.

Good luck with that. Hopefully the 'Captains of Industry' in this country will get a clue and stop outsourcing American jobs to slave labor.

Come on dude.... We don't have to wait another second to be able to state unequivocally that this is NOT "just the flu."

It IS impacting younger people - I just read in the NY Post of an otherwise perfectly healthy 39 year old woman who died from complications relating directly to COVID.

Word is finally getting out that children - I read of a 7 month old baby - that are becoming infected AND showing symptoms of COVID.

THIS.

IS NOT.

JUST.

THE FLU.


It's not the end of the world, I agree that it's tragic the damage being done to the economy, but it is objectively worse than the flu.


If nothing else, it's worse because we have NO vaccine, NO treatment, very little knowledge (compared to other virii) about this specific virus, and because it is spreading so rapidly, it is already collapsing healthcare systems the world over due to how many people are getting infected & sick to the point of needing hospitalization.

What happens when you have 100 people who are so sick that they need to be hospitalized, but you only have 30 hospital beds?

That's where we are.

And it's only going to get worse from here.

Sorry, you are a good man, Fear58, but come on......it is NOT just the flu. Not by a long shot.
