It can’t. And you better believe plenty of people are overjoyed at the prospect.
we need herd immunity....I realize it will make people like me sick, maybe die, but I can’t in good conscience have this world deteriorate anymore for my children or grandchildren...
Anyone happy about tanking the economy is an idiot.
This pandemic has all the ingredients for a global economic depression.
A drastic reduction in the demand for goods and services, a drastic reduction in world trade, a drastic reduction in world travel.

Restaurants are not going to make it on carryout alone. Their wait staff is not going to make rent and car payments on unemployment alone.
I fully expect that domestic violence and suicide rates are going to skyrocket if this shutdown goes on more than a month.
