Internal govnt docs project hundreds of thousands will die if lockdown liftedi

[floridafan]

Internal government documents obtained by the Center for Public Integrity show that officials are projecting that hundreds of thousands of Americans will die if state governments across the United States lift pandemic lockdown restrictions.

“Federal health officials estimated in early April that more than 300,000 Americans could die from COVID-19 if all social distancing measures are abandoned, and later estimates pushed the possible death toll even higher,” reporter Liz Essley Whyte writes on the Center for Public Integrity’s website. “In the documents, the ‘best guess’ for how things will play out without further mitigation says that coronavirus cases and deaths would double about every five and a half days.

As horrific as this sounds, experts who spoke with Whyte actually said they were underestimating the death toll of lifting lockdown restrictions.
“Their model’s way too optimistic,” said Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. “They’re getting their analysis wrong.”

States such as Georgia and Florida have already started making moves to reopen their economies despite the fact that they’re still seeing their daily case numbers increase.

The internal documents suggest Florida has the most to lose by ending its lockdown early, as it’s projected to see an additional 23,000 deaths if social distancing restrictions are rescinded.

A rising jobs tide does raise all ships. Why do you think it does not? What works better than capitalism?

United States small businesses employed 58.9 million peo*ple, or 47.5% of the private workforce

Firms with fewer than 100 employees have the largest share of small business employment.

Small businesses created 1.9 million net jobs in 2015. Firms employing fewer than 20 employees experienced the largest gains, adding 1.1 million net jobs. The smallest gains were in firms employing 100 to 499 employees, which added 387,874 net jobs.

corporations had to be dragged kicking and screaming to eight hour day, worker safety, minimum wage etc by labor movements. it didn't just happen because of the magical inherent goodness of greedy people. true scientific fact.

im not a socialist, but I do believe in basic safety nets. yes, like a min wage.

what would fix capitalism is destruction of corporate veil, and sound currency

 

[Nordberg]

you're the one starving out the poor with shutdown policies.

So let them die is an enlightened policy? Damn you are a clown who makes no sense. Corona will spread like wildfire if they open up too soon, and this is too soon. The R0 Factor is dropping in several states that have treated the virus seriously. It is growing in states that had a cavalier attitude like you do. You want stupidity and rashness to be national policy. You have your accomplice in the Whitehouse. He does not care if people die. He spends lives like currency. He even wants owners who force employers who will force workers back too soon to be exempt from suits. Can you see who that helps? Can you? Who would it hurt?

How do arbitrary minimum wage rates provide a safety net?

This is a pile of naive nonsense. Apparently you did not get a formal education; particularly as it relates to economics, history and reality.

Do you know why we have a legal term called corporations?

I see a lot of questions.

what do you actually dispute about capitalism being forced to be more accomodative to workers by labor movements?

I don't see any answers.

Where did I dispute that? I am aware of collective bargaining.
