COVID-19 Anxiety Will Destroy At Least Seven Times More Years Of Life Than The Lockdowns Save
Issues & Insights ^ | May 5, 2020 | Andrew Glen and James D. Agresti

...Based on a broad array of scientific data, Just Facts has computed that the anxiety created by reactions to COVID-19 — such as stay-at-home orders, business shutdowns, media exaggerations, and legitimate concerns about the virus — will destroy at least seven times more years of human life than can possibly be saved by lockdowns to control the spread of the disease. This figure is a bare minimum, and the actual one is likely more than 90 times greater.

This study was reviewed by Joseph P. Damore, Jr., M.D., who concluded: “This research is engaging and thoroughly answers the question about the cure being worse than the disease.” Dr. Damore is a certified diplomate with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, an assistant attending psychiatrist at New York Presbyterian Hospital, and an adjunct professor in the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership at the U.S. Military Academy...

Maybe we should listen to this doctor. He is an expert, isn't he? Just like Fauci and Birx are experts. Is he any less of an expert whose voice should be listened to?

He’s a psychiatrist. Our era’s version of the venerable Witch Doctor.

A Great Depression II will tend to do that.

Of what he claims, what do you disagree with?

I’ve listened to SO many conflicting stories and the ONLY one that has ANY ring of truth to it is “We don’t really know much about this virus.”

He’s right

Doesnt take a medical degree to figure that one out.

Many people a lot younger than the ones who are dying are going to have early heart attacks because of this nonsense. Stress is a killer. The virus... not so much

“anxiety” can be controlled....so I don’t buy this. further a certain degree of anxiety can create motivation to resolve wat is being faced.

Guy lost his job but went out looking for work even in the shutdown.....taped his resume on company doors, or owners vehicles. He was hired!

Americans want cheap...and they KNOW that the jobs go to China. THEN they bellyache that there are fewer jobs here. We want our cake and to eat it too.

The Swiss support their own industries. They COULD cross over into France and buy food for less but they PAY more and buy their own.

We aren't like that.

I remain horrified that Trump has allowed this bum to destroy our country. Sorry Gang, but if Trump doesn’t reverse this madness NOW,he will go down as a catastrophic failure.

Has the lockdown actually saved anyone?

Is it true that even one life has been saved by the draconian stay home orders?

What IS certain is that our financial system is on the verge of permanent collapse.

In the long run, the lockdown will destroy 10X as many lives, at least. Maybe closer to 100X.

There will be millions who will ultimately die sooner or later due to the effects and after effects of all of this. Many will succumb to a broad array of mental health issues and those who cannot get essential medical treatment outside the COVID barrier.

I don't believe that.

**Banks here know how to hold onto money. Always did; always will.
**Investment companies know where to invest, how much and when to pull out.
**The stock market isn't going to go belly-up any time soon.
**Long-term Investment Strategies, Wealth Advisors‎ and Financial advisors know when, where and how to put money to use.

This country didn't just get off the turnip truck.

Ok. You really believe that most of the 40M will have jobs to return to? I do not.

There is no proof that even one life has been saved by the lockdown. There is plenty of evidence that the lockdown has killed a lot of people.

In fact, the evidence seems to show that you are more likely to get the disease if you are in lockdown. The virus apparently thrives in locked down buildings and doesn’t thrive in open air and sunshine.

Beaches and parks have been closed. That is a death sentence to many people.

Nobody knows what they are doing, but they keep doing it.
