Mask are low cost and reduce the contamination. same for washing hands at the entrance of shops.

Lockdown cause unemployement, massive debt, inflation and unemployement is strongly correlated with higher mortality rate.

Lockdown is like getting rid of an ants infestation by burning your house.

I think masks and hand washing only help lower covid by like 3%. Lock downs and social distancing 100%. Of course we need to bail out the people and I don't mean just $1,400 one time. Tax the rich to pay for it.

Problem is, the rich control the gouvernment. So they won't get tax. Instead we'll all get more poor through inflation.

Because with inflation, even if you're wage go up to fight it, it will make you jump tax bracket and pay more tax.

maybe but thar never happened before when we raised wages and anyway this is an emergency so do it anyway. use price controls to stop inflation if needed. anything essential like food.
