Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
Okay, so what will we say to all of this when these regulations are likely still in place after the next three to six months? How long are we to put up with this crap? It was originally for a couple weeks when this began, and I knew right then that it would go much longer than that. They said May, and I was not surprised to learn that in many areas lock-downs would be extended until the middle of the summer. Now, lo and behold, we start to open things up and there is, as we all knew there would be, a spike in cases. So, how long do we go back into lock-down this time? We can't keep playing with people's lives like this. Am I motivated by personal loss? Hell yes, I am. Any self-respecting person who just wants to provide for their family should be fuming at this point. I wonder, if this goes on for a great deal longer, then how are people going to work this stuff out? There are only going to be so many stimulus packages that can go out.
I'd also like to know one other thing. If capitalism is so messed up, and I'll grant that it has been hijacked by corporations, what is the solution then. You can't make me believe that the communist socialist approach works as we have way too many examples from throughout world history that show it does not work. I remember all too well the bailouts that happened you spoke of Jade, and I remember not being very pleased to hear about them. I have never once asked for a bailout. If money was offered, such as in the case of the stimulus packages, I obviously was grateful and accepted it. However, I would not expect someone to come along and bail me out. I know we need things to be as safe as possible, but we need to start weighing just how much that's going to cost. there really is nothing that is going to "flatten the curve" to the extent people would like. that's just not the way these things work. If people would just research the idea of herd immunity, they'd find that it is a scientific process we've seen many times before and has usually been what eventually eliminated a virus. Sweden took that approach, and they're doing much better now because of it. Now, the number would look different in a bigger country like the United States, but it would play out the same way in the end.
