Tell that to the people who have lost family members in Italy among other places. Lord willing....not here.
Sorry, it may seem unkind, but the average age of the family members lost in Italy is 79.5 years old. Ninety nine percent of those who died had either high blood pressure, diabetes, a heart condition or a combination of the three. Add to that most living in an area which has the worst air pollution in the country.
In the meantime, The economy of this country is taking a huge hit, and like I said, the oil industry will not be able to pull it out this time. My concerns are much closer to home. I got the word that the company I have been working for suspended operations today. IOW, until further notice, I am out of work. I am just one of thousands, considering Halliburton announced a 3500 worker layoff, and that is just one company. Between oil prices crashing and this insane lockdown, we're on our way to the next Great Depression.
Italy is far from my top concern, and cold as it may sound, considering the age and general health of the victims there, no one lives forever.
There are a grand total of seven people with confirmed COVID-19 in this entire State (less than one per one hundred thousand), none are hospitalized, none have died, and 355 have been tested and turned out negative for the virus.
Our economy affects 330,000,000 people, and will for some time to come.
