2. Though you also need to add something significant...


The hidden health risk in all this. 1. People have neglected preventative care and that will lead to bad outcomes when you factor in millions of people. Medical fact. 2. Aside from the relatively rare cases of direct death from suicide, the stress is causing and will cause long term health problems. Its not going to show up on a report in June 2020 but its legit. Many out there are in financial ruin. They have lost their business. Everything they have worked for. Their identity. Dreams killed. Relationships suffering. All that is a massive health problem when measured over a society. You just won't see it on the "news" because its impossible to quantify now and it doesn't go with the narrative. Information on this (from real medical sources) is out there but again, its not highlighted by the mainstream.
So how far do we let the collateral damage occur. Too many people are obsessed over the trees and not even thinking about the forest. Fact is many are fortunate enough not to be stressed or significantly impacted by this. Heck for some its even an opportunity to push another agenda. This includes many with the loudest voices. More to our point here, its also a huge number regular folk who are essentially getting a massive paid vacation. One that allows them to live in an artificial bubble supported by all kinds of news and data that make them feel self righteous. I am not saying I have the answers or the category 1 crowd is all wrong.....just that there are bigger picture factors here that most are not even contemplating. Ten years from now we will look back on this with a much different perspective and realize we weren't really thinking about xyz. Same as always in history
