The economical impact of COVID-19 on people's lives will be far more severe than the biological one.

Hopefully this won't discourage governments from taking appropriate action once a more lethal pandemic comes.




So lets say that there are a couple hundred thousand dead and you are pretty sure that 50% of the people out there have it. Are you going to go out for dinner or a movie? Not me..

But ignore me if you aren't saying that the restrictions should be reversed so the economy goes back to normal. A guy on CNBC just said that even if it means 400K would die. The economy just will not go back to normal anytime soon.
