This curve shows a leveling off.. but it needs to show a downward trend for a couple of weeks before a relaxing of the measures that got us to the point where we leveled off

Saw a stat. For every posotive test in NC ,125 people have lost a job
22million have filed for unemployment since the national emergency.
750,000 cases give or take from latest CDC report
1 covid case= 29 people without a job countrywide
A very steep economic hit.

If you take the ratio of Covid deaths (42,458) versus jobs lost, the ratio is even steeper: 52 lost jobs per death.
And think of the # of people a job loss affects...you have kids a single job loss can affect a family of 4 on average.
Agreed. Way, Way, way more Asymptomatic cases than we thought.The Asymptomatic cases factored in would most likely show the mortality rate at .01%. We did not know this and are just finding ,figuring this out. We did what we had to do and wisely by shutting down to save lives. I think everything has been handled and managed very well by most elected officials, wh corono team,American Citizens etc.Factoring in how many countless asymptomatic cases reduces that 1-29 ratio by a lot. We may never know the true number of asymptomatic cases and there was ZERO way to know we would get so lucky. We are dodging a HUGE bullet because of those asymptomatic cases. Imagine if everyone got sick from this and a decent percentage of them needed care. We got LUCKY!

But its time to open the economy up. We cant shut down our economy for a virus with a sub1% mortality rate. I dont think anyone on here would dispute that. We did not know that till the past few days, because we have true data now to go off of, not speculation. Weve been shut down for 36 days now, its time to open up. Still need to follow hand washing, 6 foot rule, elderly,comprimised taking extreme precaution. Not worth going into a depression, not recession economically. I say this with heavy heart. Its tough cause every life is a precious gift. But a depression will cost more or as many lives as this virus.
I'm sure most of those jobs will come back but none of the lost lives willIf you take the ratio of Covid deaths (42,458) versus jobs lost, the ratio is even steeper: 52 lost jobs per death.
I'm sure most of those jobs will come back but none of the lost lives will
I'm sure most of those jobs will come back but none of the lost lives will
I am now convinced there are some here who couldnt care less about the lost lives.
If you're not even considering the socioeconomic fallout from this then you are being realistic. We shouldn't be mocking people for considering that. Yes, the mortality rate for people over 60 is very scary but the mortality rate for people under 50 is that of the common flu. The socioeconomic fallout will be unprecedented...we have no clue how bad it will and how long it will last, but it's not going to be a quick turnaround. But, when covid19 hopefully gets contained in 18-24 months the wages/job won't come back with a snap of a finger, if at all. You have big businesses that have/will shut there doors, those jobs are not coming back and that isn't going to stop anytime soon. Imagine sitting there having just lost your job and trying to look for one in this environment....imagine sitting there not knowing how you are going to pay the mortgage/rent, buy food/clothes for your family. I am in no ways belittling covid19, it's very serious and shutting things down was the right call, but it will be a balance going forward.
Not true Shaggy, they are trying to prevent more loss of life from hardships that will stem from a nation of unemployed people. I want my elderly parents to live and draw their SS checks without having to worry about a bankrupt government. Right now, the elderly people need us working. How, for the love of God, are we going to pay for what we have already spent? Are we going to make China pay for it?I am now convinced there are some here who couldnt care less about the lost lives.
