You don't understand the fundamental issue, we are going to have a lot more deaths than the coronavirus if the economy goes under. Im saving people, while you try to sabotage everyone's life.

And why does the economy go under? Because the US don't have any social safety net like virtually the entire rest of the world because that sounds like communism to some people there.

And you're not saving people. You're just trading one group of people for another. Mainly, you would trade a couple depressed for lots of poor people who won't be able to afford treatment for Covid-19.

So yes, you really don't understand the issue at hand. Worse, you think a minor issue is bigger than this one because you can't grasp the whole extent of it.

The US can LITERALLY snap its fingers and create a universal basic income program that covers all of its citizens, hardly anyone would oppose it under today's circumstances.

And get off your high horse, it's safe to say that hardly anyone "grasp the whole extent of it" when just weeks ago this was a non-issue to most people, politicians and governments.
