I said follow the South Korean model, test and isolate the sick, isolating the sick and reducing their ability to spread the virus does not require shutting down a big chunk of the economy. It will spread a little faster than if you shut everything down, but it also won't do anywhere near as much economic damage either, while not increasing so much that it becomes some huge issue, as South Korea already proved was possible, disproving the theory that shutting everything down is the only way to go. The success stories of nations that didn't go that far despite being heavily hit by the Coronavirus proves that this is a false assumption.

Non-essential businesses that are forced to close include those with small gatherings, not just large ones. In fact some businesses with large gatherings are kept open, because they are essential, while other smaller gatherings are shut down because they aren't.

Wrong. Canada has more per capita deaths now, you haven't checked the number recently have you? They are shutting down small gatherings too, not just large ones, and shutting down a lot of gatherings destroys the economy, since a lot of the economy revolves around such gatherings.

I gave you alternative options, if you don't like the answer, that doesn't mean I didn't give one. Besides even if I had no plan like Strawman Yzermandias, No Plan > Counter-Productive Plan.

Dude Canada is doing little better than America, the idea that Canada can follow the South Korean model and America cannot, makes no sense whatsover. I concede that they are bad ideas, that doesn't mean the government should be forcibly shutting them down long before the peak hits. If they want to shut down on their own accord, that's their decision.

I am ranting about the damage that government mandates are doing to the economy while offering alternatives. If people want to social distance on their own accord, I don't begrudge them at all, the government forcing them to, especially in extremely economically damaging ways, that is what I begrudge. Try again, this time without Strawman Yzermandias, if you are even capable of doing so.

It is an option. Just because there are limitations in other countries that South Korea didn't have, that doesn't mean we should follow the least successful models and ignore the most successful models as if there is nothing to be learned from them because circumstances were a little different. The idea that those destroying their economies the most are doing the best job combating the virus is not backed by the facts, it is mere wishful thinking.

Nope. I asked with an obvious answer. I ascribed no position to Boges with those questions.

I answered your questions, and backed up my soundbites. You simply did not like the answers and pretended I never gave any. I also didn't disagree with the importance of social distancing, nor did I claim it was possible to avoid damaging the economy until there a cure or vaccine.

They are dying from both. Killing the economy doesn't fix the dying from Coronavirus problem, as Italy's results prove despite their crackdowns, but it does add a shitty economy as another negative on top.

I never said that was his position. I pulled the Iceni Cannibal and asked a dumb question with an obvious answer, except I actually illustrated a larger point while doing so, unlike you.

20% unemployment sounds like a booming economy to you? The US losing a fifth of it's GDP doesn't sound like destroying the economy? It does from where I am standing. Other countries are cracking down even harder, and doing even more damage than that to themselves. You don't think that's going to result in anyone dying?

You can't back your shit up, yet you still throw stones from your glass house, and then cry foul when someone throws a stone back.

Boges inability to think of alternatives is not proof that no alternatives exist, it's proof of Boges inability to provide substantive arguments, followed by him projecting his own faults on others and throwing stones from his glass house.

No it's my unwillingness to believe that the action taken will have the effect you said it will.

They don't have to overreact even if they didn't. Overreacting doesn't help.

Another example of the government overreacting making the problem worse, you prove my point for me.

It's actually because of how other nations governments and the Canadian government overreacted to it and mandated the economy shut down.

Is that the fifth or sixth straight post where you created a Strawman Yzermandias? It's such a shock that someone being repeatedly strawmanned so often would call out the person doing that to them.

Indeed, besides if the US did hyperinflate, everyone else would hyperinflate in response to maintain a reasonable exchange rate, which would negate a lot the damage caused by hyperinflation on the American's part..

Worrying about hyperinflation in a deflationary spiral makes no sense, that's about as far as you can get from hyperinflation.

That is Trudeau Derangement Syndrome is nutshell, as bad as any Trump Hater has Trump Derangement Syndrome too I might add. That's the exact same attitude they have towards Trump. When you hate someone that much, you can't think straight, you are able to see that in those who hate on Trump, but you can't see that in yourself or with others who hate on Trudeau, that's the only difference.

I see that the debate has backed you into a corner of meaningless strawmen to try and make yourself feel smart by pretending I'm stupid.

Strawman. Giving up other people lives won't save the economy any more than me giving up my life would, your question is irrelevant.

Indeed that is another strawman of my opinion.
