  1. Except that duck and cover actually worked. People mere hundreds of yards away from the ground zero in Hiroshima survived because they were in cover.

  2. "It's absurd to claim that a respiratory disease spreads as readily when fully open than when closed" - It's not absurd. People kept gathering at grocery stores and lines. So while the avenues for contagion were reduced, we were mostly corralled into the same one.

  3. "then we would have the same demand shocks that we had to economy" - tough to prove.

  4. "Virus gets starved of hosts and dies off." - But it won't. People still have to go get groceries, there's still people working deliveries, etc. "Money will be made again let us live through this first." - But that's the problem. How do people live through out of work? Money will be made again? I don't know if you noticed but if people lose their livelihood they no longer have money to restart their businesses.

  5. You do realize that economists aren't a monolith and aren't in charge of everything money related, right?

  6.  @Koenshakuable  "Like the nine out of ten dentists that prefer colgate over crest in a commercial... We can agree they're not dentists." - You do realize that that number is basically "9 out of 10 dentists recommend using this toothpaste over not using anything at all" and they shorten it to "9 out of 10 dentists recommend using this toothpaste", right? They use real dentists on polls, they just reserve the right to cherry pick them and twist the words on the questions. "Point being, were they actually addressing say, the systematic pattern of wealth extraction in the last several generations" - Jesus, with that sentence alone I can tell how insufferable you are.

  7.  @Koenshakuable  Your comments are like mixing a Banksy art piece and a Jayden Smith tweet. Just because you don't understand a field or what they do it doesn't mean you should be mouthing off about how they're not doing this highly specific thing in a way I can notice in my daily life. It's like asking "why are scientists giving drugs to mice instead of curing cancer?". God. Stop being 12 years old.

  8.  @Koenshakuable  You're arguing from bad faith against a strawman. Bad luck to you, sir.
