[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7970803, member: 6716779"] The one size fits all approach doesn't work it seems. What's an option in rich western countries isn't an option in say India. People going hungary is already happening in parts if the world. In the USA you already have people lining up for food. First thing I did 5 weeks ago was busy out some material via Google on the great depression. I wasn't joking when I said Americans are going to be seeing thing they haven't had to deal with since FDR. Sent back a bit further as well both with Spanish Flu and Black Death, Antonine Plague and Justinian. It's not always the virus itself but the break down in food supply, wars etc that kills more people. Let's say lockdown saves 200000 American s the disruption to the world means 30 million die elsewhere. Reality still hasn't really started to hit as it takes a while to run down food and money reserves. Here the government keep food production going along with freight as they count as essential. Not sure what the exact unemployment figures are but 60-80% are sitting at home atm that will drop 20% next week. 500k are working out if a population of 5 million and a workforce of 2.5 million.
