While not doing it means we'll be at 7.3% death rate like Italy. There are only horrific choices at this point.
Pelosi sold the country out when she let that bill pass exempting people at businesses with more than 500 employees from being eligible for sick leave. The only good thing we get out of that bill is free SARSCov2 testing. Meanwhile Trump gets to pretend he gave people sick leave.

If we’re going to live by the free market then we need to die by the free market (literally). We can’t selectively tell businesses to close without providing any form of relief.
Krugman pointed out that the "business cycle" recessions from unstable Capitalism are less painful, shorter than BigFinance ups like 1929 and 2008 which are worse and longer .
It sounds like the current "demand depression" could turn into another BigFinance Banksters Great Depression, deep, severe, and long
btw, household and corporate debt are both a record levels, meaning "deleveraging" could be severe, with lots of defaults, repossessions.
Disaster Capitalism at its best
& CDC is hedging on even that. It's new $, fresh & untapped & they want a portion. They ain't greedy, they just don't want to give it all a way. It's against their nature. They want a cut. "You decide." Then they close their eyes & hope for a good #...they can then salt away for a rainy day.
It's why gov't wants a piece of the Internet. It's fresh money, untapped, not the same tired old money that keeps getting shuffled & reshuffled & picked apart.
Same with this test.

If this lasts until August we’re going to see something that more closely resembles the Great Depression than 2008. At that point we would have 25+% unemployment and small businesses shutting down left and right.
Not for me, remember, tights?
Did you at least spend some of that windfall before Corona came a knockin'?
from 20 to 29 in 3 years, a full year of gains, lost in a single day
and now you're sitting 200 points off the Negro
25%?
id say over 50%
I said 25+%. That’s where unemployment levels were during the Great Depression. Definitely not saying it’d stop there.
do you not know how 401k's work?
