I’m Kate Wilson, not an economist, and I approve this message.

[miss marmelstein]

Someone doesn’t know how to multi-task.

[kiryandil]

I’m Kate Ferguson, not an economist, and I approve this message.

[Jim Robinson]

Yeah, let the economy collapse. Tens of millions starving to death is no big deal. /s

[Nifster]

I care about stocks.

It is worth considering that if small government offers no cure in a pandemic, it may not be the healthiest option in ordinary times either.

It's big government that got us into this mess, sister. Big government is doing what it usually does to try to get us out -- print money. That doesn't always work, particularly if you're not in a country whose currency is the world standard.

The global economy is imploding, but it is difficult to care when there are people gasping for air.

Utter BS! This is just the usual, manipulative leftist hypocritical trick. People are ALWAYS dying, gasping or otherwise. Watch how fast they don’t matter anymore when someone SHE approves of is in charge.

[faucetman]

Until people are killing each other in the streets.

[plain talk]

The two have nothing to do with each other. People are always dying and people should always find ways to invest and fund their retirement.

[freeandfreezing]

More left wing BS propaganda. They are spewing it out now.

[tomkat]

It’s a shame that women with good sense are often lumped in with ninnies such as this.

It is not about “stocks” per se, nor really about the companies represented by those stocks.

Those things are stand-ins for the economy in general, and the economy in general is about the people, their livelihoods, their savings, their ability to pay for the things they need, to provide for their children and to prepare for a future.

It is not about “saving corporations”. It is very much about saving one of the most important things in people’s lives - the economic ability to care for themselves.

Of course to all Leftists THAT is not so important.

Need to give her a tour of the homeless encampments around Los Angeles and ask her how many multiple of that she is good with.

"That there is a correlation between populist leaders and the time taken to accept reality. The extra days and weeks Trump, Johnson et al needed to bust the myth of their own exceptionalism have already cost lives."

In the case of Trump the statement is demonstrably false.

When you premise your propaganda on a lie, then it really isn't anything but fake news, and not a contribution to solving a serious, worldwide problem that is causing a lot of suffering.

[SkyDancer]

How many deaths so far from regular flu that’s not being reported?

[SaxxonWoods]

To a liberal, everything is about the extension of liberalism.

So, here’s the question for this one:

Who cares about liberalism when people are dying?

[ZinGirl]

Were people not dying before this?

[Junk Silver]

Communists spent most of the 20th century starving their citizens to death and otherwise murdering them. It seems like they are off to a good start in this century as well.

This headline should really read: “Who cares about people dying in a destroyed global economy when our ideological goals are coming to fruition?”

[freeandfreezing]

Meanwhile, as countries including the United States rush to introduce the biggest economic stimulus packages in their history, it is worth considering that if small government offers no cure in a pandemic, it may not be the healthiest option in ordinary times either.

And what evidence is their that "small government offers no cure"? None whatsoever.

Actually, using her dollar metric, so far smaller governments seem to be doing a pretty good job. And the largest, and most intrusive of governments like the one in China are actually at least partially responsible for the problem existing in the first place.
