trump and other chuds were right that the lockdown would be worse than leaving everything open, but that's only because our country's government is loving useless and/or evil and won't do anything of real substance to help its citizens. they just either can't see or won't admit to the realities of capitalism

in short, america is a failed state

Los Angeles is such a such a beautiful environment with constant sunshine that everybody wants a piece of LA to the point where people absolutely learn to hate everything with a seething passion that wavers between becoming a single minded psychopathic cockroach that does their job better than any other person on earth or suicidal with the joy of joining the abyss, depending on what time of day it is, coupled with the pounding fact that everybody here is a transplant or the children of transplants cut off from all the roots in a city that hates all sense of past and history and joyfully gathers people from the rest of the world who are superficial, stupid, confused, and greedy to utterly isolate them all the time, but distracted with: traffic, your job, hatred of your job, hatred of social actives, and hatred of all people and their horrifying conversations that is grounded in materialism so obvious everybody mistaken it as stupid, yet utterly detached from reality that stating simple truths becomes an infinite loop of sincerity and irony; really it's just "another day in paradise."

People would start staying home and crash the economy regardless of lockdowns, the only difference would be higher body count before the crash. There's no non-crash scenario here because of how bad we hosed this up.

Yeah, the dumbest mistake is assuming that there's actually a choice between an economic implosion and saving lives

Economy is doomed. Always was doomed. You can save lives or not save lives, but you can't save the economy, because the economy is based on rampant consumer spending and it's ridiculous to assume that a pandemic wouldn't at least have a marginal effect on people's willingness to go outside and do things.

Florida is now up to 5,103 non-flu pneumonia deaths in less than 4 months, but only 866 covid/pneumonia deaths, along with 300 flu deaths with possible pneumonia or covid comorbidity. The only source I can find for previous years lists combined flu/pneumonia deaths and Florida averages just under 3000 per year. Someone please help me make sense of these numbers. I'm honestly asking. In the last 6 years pneumonia never cracked Florida's top 10 cause of death which has a lower bound of 3000. I feel like I must be reading the numbers wrong or something.

nonflu pneumonia lmao...what could it be????

Ten times the deaths of the neighbors.

No appreciable difference in economic outcome.

Turns out the demand slump from people staying at home is perfectly capable of decimating your economy without officially declaring lockdown.

They're still screaming about how superior they are because chuds gonna chud.

For what it's worth Finland is rolling back restrictions to almost Sweden levels starting June, I hope the outcome is that enduring the horror of restaurants and swimming pools being closed for 2,5 months results in 5-10x less deaths. The government is still retaining the the state of readiness banhammer so they can roll back at moment's notice though. Schools opened a week ago so if theres going to be a spike it should show up soon, maybe ill get it too since my gf is a teacher in one of the areas with the highest per capita infections rate.

EDIT: The latest opposition chud talking point here seems to be just to blatantly lie and claim that the government was going to do the Swedish approach but somehow they managed to pressure them to do the right thing. This is the party who's leader claims TURMP is the best thing to happen to western politics in decades.

LA has its faults but it's a wonderful city with a ton of great food and things to do, and it's so tiresome when people say this poo poo about everyone who lives there as if they just assume everyone is some hollywood dickhead actor
