We've talked more than once about the economic impact of this dragging on with infections going on- some data- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpiCuSIXR1I&ab_channel=MSNBC
People going outside of their homes peaked at 7% below normal, and then started trending down again once infections started to rise.
Spending is declining after almost recovering, as infections have started to rise
And employment has stalled as infections have started to rise.
All this started playing out BEFORE additional restrictions have been put into place recently.
So pretending that everything is ok, and that we should open up isn't fooling everyone. This is the economic impact of doing nothing and pretending everything is ok. And because so many want to force this back going, the infections are now going to hammer consumer spending just as we get into the holiday season.
Thanks for denying and playing this down. Had we taken this seriously and nipped it in the bud, not only would +200,000 Americans still be alive, the economy would be more like other countries who managed to deal with it.
This is playing out JUST LIKE IT WAS PREDICTED TO.
THIS...times a thousand
