I’ve been beating that drum on Facebook. The worlds economy is done. We just aren’t feeling it - yet. And remember what the great depression led us to.

Desperate times call for desperate actions - by governments. This can get so much uglier in so many ways. We would have been better off to completely ignore this virus.

Exactly. An army is for breaking things and killing people. If we ever declare war again, the only thing we should leave is a bunch of crying widows and orphans.

Misleading headline. We're allowing medical relief through. The UK, EU, and Iran had better not abuse the opportunity.

Yeah. I actually agree. I mean it is done kinda like it was “done” in 1932. By the mid-50’s most stocks had recovered to their pre-crash levels.

In the end we those alive will be ok. Well, those that survive the potential war(s). It’s all just history unfolding. It has good times and bad times, right up to the day the Lord returns.
