For me, I am quite adamant that the future suffering that the reactions to Covid-19 will cause will far outstrip the lives they saved. The narrative was "you can't put a price on life" while millions of people having been dying unnecessarily for years, because there just wasn't enough money to help them. I feel that there is a tugging on the emotional strings to raise fear so that the wholesale siphoning of the economy can take place and by the time people snap out of their fugue state, it will be too late.
Only 1 percent of those infected with Covid-19 die. The dangers of Covid-19 have been overstated.
Economic hardship is likely the biggest killer on earth, as in a world dominated by the demand and supply of goods and services with a cost, not being able to pay is going to directly impact on the health and well-being of any individual and their family. When it comes to the factors for quality of life in a modern society, financial opportunity is a keystone factor that puts pressure on almost all other aspects of life. Yes, the best things in life are free, but the conditions optimal to be able to grow and harvest them are not. Yet, here we are, happily creating economic hardships that are going to reach down through generations and impact every layer of society negatively - while a few individuals profiteer.
I agree with you! There will be far more people dying of starvation from economic hardship than those who died from Covid-19 infection.
Currently only a handful of people use Covid-19 to monopolize wealth and power.
Dear @tarazkp, Do you have any ideas to solve this situation?
The only lasting solution is for people to wake up and start taking responsibility for themselves, rather than paying other people to make them feel safe. It is a much larger issue than Corona, we have been infected by a lack of attention on what actually matters.
