>>11620163When I talk about the economy I wasn't talking about Joe Blogs who works at the local shit retailer. I'm talking about industries being impacted which has run on effects causing less availability of things like medical care.
Things like 'elective' surgeries gets put on hold but what a lot of people don't seem to realise is being elective doesn't mean a surgery isn't necessary it just means it's not an immediate death sentence. There are people dying while waiting for treatments.
Closing shit like dine-in restaurants and indoors entertainment areas to reduce the spread makes sense and has minimal economic impact.
Shutting down every business even those which could comply with physical distancing is where some countries went pants-on-head retarded.
