So, I did an essay on populism a while ago. One of the figures I focused on, I'm sure the Americans will know him, was Ross Perot. Perot was basically the most successful third party candidate, a Texas busisnessman and common sense politician. If he was in charge at the moment, I have no doubts that the US would be in a better position.

He was one of the few genuinely good businessmen and politicians. It's really scary when you go back and listen to interviews he did back in the day, it's amazing how a lot of the stuff he called all the way back then came to be. Seemed like a good man as well.
Dead people don't buy things = out of business too.
But their money lives on = Continuance of business.
What money? They aren't making money. Most have no money to pass on or to "live on." Wow.
Oh, I'm chill as f*ck man.
I saw a meme? comment? about this.
Our grandparents and parents were called to war and served.
We are called to do our part and asked to sit on our couches, binge watch Better Call Saul, eat junk food and take naps.
Don't blow it.
I was doing a job at a local hospital Saturday and the hospital is big for my county, it has 7 floors. I found out that it has 250 beds, which doesn't seem like a lot when thinking about a surge of patients. I started doing math in my head about how many hospitals were close to me (and of course like every other hospital, they are full even when there is no pandemic going on) and how many beds that was and I realized how easily the hospitals could be overwhelmed. I looked up on wikipedia the number of beds per capita in the US and it's 2.77 (South Korea has 12.2, Japan has 13 and Italy has 3.18). The US was 32 on the list. So, for every 1,000 people that get the virus, if only 1% have to be hospitalized I can see how that would overwhelm us. If more than 1% have to be hospitalized, it could be a castasrophe considering that our hospitals are full without corona patients.
Screw the memes. Don't watch Saul or take naps, but I do eat junk food (it's about the only take-out you can get at the moment). When I get COVID19 (we’re all gonna contract it eventually) I’ll use the cocktail of Hydroxychloroquine & Azithromycin if a cure hasn’t been found by then. The combinations of these two drugs, so far, appears to have tremendous success.
In both Stockholm and Gothenburg two big conference halls are taken over and made into Corona hospitals. We'll see how it works out but at least they do something.
Just be sure you're not taking the wrong one. It can be deadly.

Why get it in the first place to have to treat with dangerous medicines that have their own side effects? Why purposely poison your body when there is a chance to stop it?
We just give up? We don't even try to stop it? That's a pretty un American thing. Give up. Let the enemy win. Fly that white flag with pride.
Ireland is only short of lockdown. Schools are closed until at least after Easter. McDonalds is closed. Essential services are running, but self distancing is strongly advised and hand sanitizing as well. Hair dressers as well. Grocery stores are open, but there is not as much hoarding as some places. Stay safe my friends.
Those drugs have been out for decades.
What white flag? What are you going on about? Nothing will stop it... NOTHING! Selective social distancing make sense early on until a cure, or something that works out of what is already out there, is utilized. At some point all this shutdown stuff will need to end or the economy will collapse… and we’re soon approaching it. A stand must me made. I think the states that recommend social distancing should be utilized, work from home if you can, and encourage companies that need to stay open do what they can is the best tactic.
Of course they've been out for decades. What's that got to do with the fact that they are dangerous and carry their own side effects? Why purposely poison your own body with them if you don't have to?
So, sigh, we're all going to get it, sigh, so might as well just take the meds, do what we want to do. Forget about stepping up to sacrifice for the greater good. the greater good. Forget about doing our part. Fight for a cause that benefits the world.
We want what we want and we want it now. stomp stomp stomp.
I do agree with you that a new way of business can be done without shutting everything completely. But there are still high risk buinesses that just can't be open at this time, to protect everyone. We are an embarrassment to the tough, greatest generation that fought hard for us. Lazy, selfish, entitled.
The only thing that has slowed this down in countries where they have had the most deaths has been closing things down. Failure to recognize and accept this is what will continue to see the infections rise exponentially. That's the stand that needs to be made. Make sacrifices for a shorter amount of time or see this take over completely. And maybe let the scientists and medical experts who actually know a thing or two be the ones to lead press conferences rather than politicians who are throwing out incorrect and/or anecdotal "evidence" and thereby continue to make public statements that are confusing and misinforming the public.
This is becoming a hot topic so let's not continue to go there or this thread will be shut down.
