The economy is collapsing because the fact that the govt is shutting everyone down has the potential to ruin business owners everywhere.
E.g. what the post is trying to say
My favorite argument is "if we sacrifice X number of people, then everything will be okay!" They think that the so called opening of the economy will be like people just going back to work after a long weekend. My challenge to anybody who says we should just kill some people and get it over with is that your family and loved ones have to be first, and you have to do it. Also, nice use of Kung Flu, bud, you're a model soldier.
It ain't about sacrificing anyone, but allowing people to conduct their own risk assessment and act accordingly. 22 year old with good conditioning in Small Town, Idaho is in a very different situation than a 94 year old grandmother in New York City.
I sure as fuck am not advocating for any deliberate infection, or any killing whatsoever, so kindly fuck off with that shit.
And you're goddamn right I'm an American Soldier. Those commie authoritarian miscreants in the CCP and their mouthpiece the WHO are trying to pin the outbreak on me and my brothers. So I will take every opportunity to scream from every rooftop in as memorable a fashion as possible that it is a Chinese virus. Kung Flu, Wuhan Virus, what have you.
What can I say? That you believe the communist party runs the World Health Organization? That that's an insane conspiracy theory spewed from the mouth of an insane person?

I mean the WHO spokesman (leader? I forget which) covered for China when the virus was first starting to ramp up. It does seem like he's in their pocket.
So, I looked up your claim. The main proponents of this theory (and it is a theory), are right wing publications like The Federalist, National Review, and Foreign Policy magazines. The Atlantic had a piece about how the WHO bungled their response, which I agree with. But to say that the WHO is "in their pocket" is the definition of begging the question.
That's an insanely broad question, but the simple answer is that any publication with a very clear and explicit bias and goal are to be viewed with skepticism. Right wing publications are especially known to portray the evil foreigners conspiring against America for their own gain. The Federalist and National Review do not hide their agenda, and i have neither time nor energy to listen to the ramblings of crackpots and cranks.
Taiwan had evidence of human to human Covid-19 transmission, the WHO pretended they didn't exist and ignored anything to do with them.
Then in an interview snubbed Taiwan again. First by "not hearing", then with outright cutting off anyone who raised the issue.
During and preceding, the WHO took China at face value in spite of mounting evidence of dishonesty, and in spite of a well recorded history of covering up outbreaks.
By their deeds with anything involving the Party line, are they the World Health Organization, or the Chicom Coverup Organization?
First off, it has been more than a week. Second, the reason it collapsed was because all of the poor people panicked and made the stock market collapse, and finally, it is the rich people who support restaurants the most, and if you do not have a lot of money you should not blow it at restaurants
Also, you should be supporting local business right now because if the economy fully collapses, we are all going to be paying 80% income tax until it can be fixed.
Over my dead body. Income tax was always meant to be temporary, but they reached more and more. If Uncle Sam is taking 80 cents per dollar TOTAL, we'll never get anything back. Much less before property, vehicle, sales, or any other tax.
No, we'll refresh the tree of liberty before it comes to that, else we'll all be subjects of the state, rather than citizens.

Who are you, so wise in the ways of economics?
E.g. what the post is trying to say
The government trying to protect people from mass death is to blame
I'm sure ancapistan would handle the pandemic so much better
