Many people have other problems and adding a little more only quickens death. The economy adds pollution on top of poor health habits. When money buys a quicker death and insurance pays the bills, what incentive is there to go out of your way to live healthy?<br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5573426.post-90763173687053075532020-03-25T11:35:55.810+11:002020-03-25T11:35:55.810+11:00Listen to the doctors, yes.

Farmers have to farm...but farmers can't farm unless they get paid, they can't get paid if "nonessential" people who eat can't work, we can't just print money to hand out and have it worth something. My industry has been deemed "essential"...but that has to be based on economics, the world can easily do without our products for a few months. Our contribution to the economy? That's probably harder to do without--but our contribution is no more important than "nonessential" but less visible sectors. <br />I fear the toll of a recession more than the toll from the virus. I also fear the politicians on both sides, the ones that tell us it's all a joke, and the ones that want us to panic...and then put windmills and carbon-neutral airliners in the emergency relief bill.
