It hasn’t hit this country on how catastrophic this will be for the economy.

Suicide is a choice. Dying fron coronavirus is not.

Don’t you believe in personal responsibility?

Yes, many of us have seen rougher times of unemployment during the two generations of trade imbalances. It’s a virus of and caused by globalism.

I wonder how many cases like this happened during the Great Depression? How many pulled together to get through it?

It begins.
When President Trump suggested that suicides will go up if people are forced to stay cooped inside for days on end, the media laughed at him.
They won't be laughing for much longer.
Hands up anyone who is happy about being cooped indoors every day, day after day?
Especially if you lose your job as well, like over 5 million already have?
When will his nonsense end?
