Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 3519793, member: 974"] Reopening will produce some spikes that will leave some dead. And that will make some people nuts. But the real macro-picture here is that if the US economy sinks into a depression which is possible with an unlimited lockdown, then it will very likely become a world depression. The results of a world depression are truly catastrophic. We're talking starvation, riots, and even the breakdown of civil society in some countries. And that is NOT an exaggeration. We have to pay the piper one way or the other. There is no easy way out. So the disease will have another bite at the apple. Let's hope we're well prepared. But we have to end the lockdown or the cure will be much worse than the disease. [/QUOTE]
