Texas lieutenant governor says the economy dying is worse than his death
What are your thoughts?
Is sacrificing the economy to save lives too risky?
If true that 98% that get this virus will survive, I say go back to work and at 72 I'll take my chances.

This is a media driven panic - a disease with less morbidity/mortality than influenza A - and we are destroying our economy over the fear.What they call the cure is the disease. I don't stay home and i don't walk around with a surgical mask or wear rubber glove. I use my head and live my life. What is distressing to me is seeing stupid people scrambling through stores wearing surgical masks that aren't even air tight, but yet they think they are greatly reducing their chances of contracting a virus. I believe they are exploiting a virus that is quite common to contract throughout the world and they put a notorious name on it to give the impression it's highly contagious and highly virulent.They do this to monitor how people react. It's social engineering and for the most part it's working.
Time to step back and look at the assumptions driving the panic - and reassess the actions imposed on the populace.
This cure is worse than the disease.

and to be honest with you guys, I think most people are getting to the point to where they're willing to take the risk as well.
And Trump knows that. Originally Posted by Sienna91
