Well they are in a much better position now. More PPE, ventilaters, beds etc.

Nope, they are going to be in a much worse position because the economy tanked which leads to more people going to doctors/hospital due to many issues such as and not limited to  mental issues, stress heart attacks, people prolonging issues, ect. Not to mention people won't be able to pay their bills causing hospitals to bleed resources.

Well according to the CDC no such thing happened during the last recession. Rates stayed flat.

And here's an article about how the great depression didn't affect mortality other than suicides increasing, but overall deaths were actually down and population health was up. 

It makes intuitive sense to say that economic turmoil could cause more deaths than Covid, and that's why leaders who don't want to deal with this pandemic like to repeat that claim over and over again but I've yet to see evidence of such a claim. 

Actually, outpatient growth is increasing significantly over the years. Since people don't have as much money to pay their hospital bills, hospitals end up cuttings costs/resources which mean they can't keep up with the in demand of patients with limited resource. You also have to remember most hospitals are non profit so they don't have a lot of money to back themselves up in this crisis.

Lastly, people are more inclined to not go to a hospital when they need to which in return might kill them or make the situation way worse and end up costing the hospital more money and more time.

Also, the death rate increase in homicide too during great recession.

"Violent crime rates may have risen at first during the Depression (in 1933, nationwide homicide mortality rate hit a high for the century until that point, at 9.7 per 100,000 people) but the trend did not continue throughout the decade. As the economy showed signs of recovery in 1934-37, the homicide rate went down by 20 percent."

I love this argument. Arguing that stress from not being able to work will kill so many people from suicides and an increase in stress related conditions, but completely ignoring the stress from continuing to work in the middle of a pandemic. Ask any essential worker just how relaxed they've been over the last couple months, and I promise you that this has not been a walk in the park for us. It would be much worse were the government to openly support using us as cannon fodder, killing hundreds of thousands more.

Then you go on to say that the economy has a bigger impact on people's lives than the coronavirus, which too looks at the negative economic impact of a lockdown in which 100,000 people still die, while ignoring the negative economic impact of avoiding a lockdown causing a significant amount of increased deaths. Unless you are literally forcing people to work, I would wager you would have a lot of businesses shutting down, failing and workers refusing to show over a much greater period of time. Without the expanded safety nets which have been put into place, this would have been much more difficult to move forward from.

Your sociopathic writhing is not only murderous and vile, but it is unlikely to have a positive effect on the economy. The best course of action for the economy would have been leaning much harder into the lockdown and doing it sooner, so we could have cut this off at its roots before it became a nationwide disaster, and opened up more quickly.

It was my mistake to insinuate that Donald Trump has any intent whatsoever. I would never claim that. Of course Donald Trump has no ill intent for black people, he doesn't have any intent at all, except for satisfying whatever narcissistic urges happen to be in his sorry excuse for a brain at the moment.

Donald Trump with his actions and the Republican party as a whole are generally bad news for anyone earning less than a million in a year. I'd say that encompasses about 99% of black people in the US. So yeah, Donald Trump is bad news for the vast majority of black people. Just like he's bad news for the vast majority of people, including the majority of people who voted for him.

It's typical reality detached thinking of Republican fans that having a job means doing well. I'm sure those newly employed black people are having a blast with their low wage jobs, no health insurance and all that cool systemic racism.

Those violent crime rates are mainly because alcohol prohibition from 1920-1933 which led to numerous gang wars.  Sure the depression might of had something to do with it but to ignore the main contributing factor is just flat misleading.  Notice how prohibition ended in 1933.

The US economy was still sputturing till about 1939 around the start of WW2.

Yes, because poor people don't resort to criminal activities. That is why poor areas of america are essentially crime free. Also, it may have to do with something with the economy doing better as indicated by the article.

Also snoopy that graph was already increasing exponentially before the recession.
