Here was my Facebook post from 10 days ago:
“Instead of wasting $1T on a bailout, why can’t everyone just get 10 malaria pills and let us all go back to living our lives?“
I’m not sure how well the drug works- I think folks who end up getting really sick end up still on respirators for a number of days, but recover- most will be fine, and only get mild symptoms for sure- but it’s those who are prone to illnesses that wont’ fare so well- a big part of the workforce is elderly- usually with medical conditions of some kind-
I think that a lot of folks are gonna be exposed once they lift all the stupid shelter inplace orders- we’re just delaying the inevitable by making everyone stay at home- I guess it —might— make sense but ONLY IF it was for a very short time while they created a vaccine, then everyone could get back to work as usual after getting the shots- but still- even then- not keen on shutting down a country especially when a vaccine is so far away=-
