What bothers you more about the corona virus? The financial crisis or the deaths that it causes?

Currently more people I know are being rocked by the financial part of it, but obvi I cannot understate how horrible dealing with the death of loved ones must be in this time. like, you probably couldn't even see your loved one in the hospital if they were dying of COVID-19. I really do hope some radical changes come out of this

The financial crisis only bothers me insofar as it might cause deaths or otherwise suffering of its own. People losing jobs, not being able to support themselves, and if the government just gives everyone money there'll be hyperinflation and that won't solve anything. And people not necessarily being able to get goods and services that they really need. That's the only reason I want the government to balance the death toll with the economic toll.

Empathy for those who must endure great loss that will never be replaced by any numerical amount in their bank account.

The financial toll it's taking. It's disrupting a lot of lives, also fuck China for starting this. If they hadn't jailed healthcare workers trying to warn everyone perhaps it could've been contained better.

I'm not in the stockerino game, and I barely know anyone who does privately without counting insurance.
So short term it's the deaths, my gut's telling me triage would cost more money overall considering it's people creating value, not the fed printing notes.

The economical impact is going to cause more death in the long term than the actual virus. More stress and hardship.

I guess the deaths but what also pisses me off is how selfish people are hogging all the supplies. Also the fact that they're hogging stuff they don't even need. WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH 96 ROLLS OF TOILET PAPER, KAREN?

Yeah I'm more concerned with keeping people alive and safe more than anything else, even if it means I have to sit by my stupid self and medicate alone instead of at the stupid bar with the stupid cute redhead who gets closer than six stupid feet
