>>11493328Scenario 1- everyone lives but at the cost of the global economy.
Lives are in ruins, businesses close, resources aren't dug up, farmer's aren't paid, infrastructure isn't maintained, and billions are starving and wondering what to do and what to eat.
Adolf Hitler 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.5 rise up.
Scenario 2- millions die, but the economy doesn't suffer the extra drop in panic because we kept going about our business.
Healthcare overloaded, but jobs are opening up and charity cases are closing down as people die. Poor countries with minimal hygenic infrastructure are hit the worst (less starving mouths). Most countries will open up their own medical supply manufacturers, spreading the wealth and ease of manufacturing.
We're able to restructure and allocate resources.
Scenario 3- a billion dead (it's hypothetical anyway)
Again healthcare is overloaded to a halt, and poorer countries suffer horribly. Global warming solved for now as there are 1/7 as many polluters, and rent and traffic are way down.
Restructuring may take a lifetime but we kept businesses and infrastructure alive to make that possible.
>inb4 but the government does all thatNo, the government collects your taxes and pays businesses to do all that.
>inb4 millions dead will take its toll on the economyNot half as hard as the panic did
>inb4 how can you choose money and business over livesBecause a life of billions starving under totalitarian government measures isn't worth living. What's the old battle cry? "Give me liberty or give me death"
