Imagine if we started sending grains to India to feed humans rather than to the Netherlands to feed cows.

Then turn it into some High-fructose syrup that can be added to flavoured water before we send it to them.  If we get them to pollute their water supplies in making our consumables, we could force them to drink that.

The ramifications of a prolonged lockdown, potentially lasting over 18 months, could be disastrous. It really is a complex issue.
I feel like you're not listening. If India has trouble feeding itself, we should feed India. Which we are able to do. China is India's northern neighbor, has eliminated its coronavirus problem, and is a major food exporter. They can provide relief if they choose to.

And this isn't going to last 18 months. Show me one person anywhere who says that a TOTAL LOCKDOWN is going to last 18 months everywhere. More likely we have a year of localized lockdowns and travel restrictions.


If we feed them fine.

And I feel the original point often gets lost when going through these lengthy discussions. It was in response to that Youtube video. His point being that public confidence in the economy is what will drive the economy. If we open too soon then it will make things worse. He then went on to say it will probably last until there is a vaccine. To which I stated that if it lasts that long, whether there is confidence or not, it will probably end up disastrous either way.

what is up with the 14th deaths?  Was this backlogged NY deaths?

edit 

New York City today has reported 3,778 additional deaths that have occurred since March 11 and have been classified as "probable," defined as follows: “decedent [...] had no known positive laboratory test for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) but the death certificate lists as a cause of death “COVID-19” or an equivalent" [source]. We will add these to the New York State total as soon as it is determined whether the historical distribution can be obtained

Have you guys thought about liability issues in the post-quarantine world we will be slowly entering?

How does a concert venue open up and put itself at risk of a patron getting sick there and then passing away? It would seem like a pretty juicy case for a lawyer to take and blame the venue for not protecting the patrons enough. I’m already seeing rumblings of people potentially filing cases against employers or governmental bodies.

I’ve worked in corporations long enough to see how risk averse they are to liability concerns. I just can’t see how they can go back to “business as usual” without some kind of immunity granted to them going forward.

Or am I just overthinking this?

There's probably some common-law concept about the typical risks that a reasonable person would expect.

And in practice, I think the courts would be pretty shy about bringing the hammer down on whole industries like that. But I wouldn't be shocked if we see new boilerplate disclaimers in ads and maybe some provisions snuck into big legislative bills.

I feel you're overthinking it a little. Patrons take the risk in showing up/being with other folks. Unless the venue KNOWINGLY has someone on staff (or the venue books someone that KNOWINGLY has it), someone infecting others at their venue is out of their hands. They didn't know the status of the person they let in.

I don't think there's liability here beyond "you swim show up at your own risk" like beaches without lifeguards. People still go.

Depends on the curve of the dozen of states behind NYS. It seems they may have plateau but I'm not sure for all the others behind. Not all states report on what happens in long term care homes yet too, so there's probably some backlog that will be dumped on the total.
USA will probably stay at 1500-2000 deaths in hospitals a day for a while. There, hopefully, will not be anywhere that can get as catastrophic as New York City but if others places hit their peaks later, the plateau at the national level may last longer than Italy/Spain/France.

Seems certain the US will be at 50-60k total fatalities by May 1st.

Considering we know 88% of those deaths included 23 comorbidities, are actually not COVID but an obvious ploy to get Fed grant money by greedy Demonrats because it's much more efficient to destroy the economy and not collect taxes on it, the MetaCritic user score is sitting at 5.6, that diarrhea kills 1,8m worldwide and is it even flu season anymore...? Pretty good job by Trump.

The US is more like multiple countries, so it's tough to say. I would still expect some states/regions to develop somewhat larger outbreaks, so some regional spikes in infections and deaths could still be coming. Also the deaths are delayed by 14 -20 days, so there could still some waves be coming from states that are behind New York.  But since the most important safety precautions like social distance and closure of big events have been in place for some time in most states, there is a solid chance that there won't be another super spread. So from that point of view, the US could be at the peak and in control for now.

It's even worse when they're your neighbour. Our PM looks like Trump compared to Adern, she's been fantastic. We've just been really lucky that all the stupid decisions our PM has made haven't backfired, except for whoever let 2700 cruise passengers off a ship in Sydney, which accounts for about 1/3 of all our cases/deaths.

Brad J. Lamb is a real estate broker and condominium developer--so the worst kind of scum in Canada. He was precluded from building a condo because two 19-century heritage homes got in the way. The city of Toronto did not give him rezoning approval. Somehow, three weeks ago, these giant abandoned heritage homes caught on fire, with police saying that at least one explosion took place inside. Two days later, there was another fire! It could've been anyone!

Every cause of death should be treated with equal importance, and if 5,000 people die from COVID-19 this year, it will be tragic. It is also tragic that 14,000 people die from drug overdoses as well. We do not quarantine the country to prevent opioid overdoses
If we didn't do this, we'd have hundreds of thousands of deaths in Canada--not 5,000.
You don't get an opiod overdose because someone sneezes on you.

If we had an option to self-isolate for many months, we could look at that, but we do not. More people may die in Canada due to the quarantine that due to the virus. On average, Canadians save $160/month. One third of Canadians have no savings. Many millions in Canada literally live paycheque to paycheque.
Maybe you and your fellow rent-seekers caused this?

From the PMs speech going on now:  the government's plan for oil workers is to get them to clean up old wells and stimulus for pollution reduction methods (10000 jobs).  This is really great.  'Just because we are in a health crisis does not mean we can ignore the environmental crisis'.  Alberta is going to be so salty.

In the same speech, he talks about giving money to artists :dead
