Damn autocorrect

It's true that one doctor from Stanford does claim the rate to be at around 0.2%, but given that he's the only source that claims so; it doesn't seem to be widely accepted and greater rates are what the WHO and many national governments are claiming

Your idea that the short run is destroying the long run could happen, but the famine will probably only go against poor people in developing states as it always goes, 'the loss of rights' is only going to be temporary as the lockdown will be taken down at some point, 'unrest' that I'm not sure about what you mean, and millions of people that could benefit of having government backing since it's the one that announced that a lockdown had to happen.
Of course the best solution is to go back in time and warn ourselves that this is how shit was going to go down, but we can't. What we can do is to prevent more people from becoming ill, which means that either testing that may not work (as it has shown) or to close our countries for the time being.
And no, as I said before, the virus letality isn't 1%. Because this point has been brought up again, here are sources that say it kills more people than you want to believe:
36,000 Missing Deaths: Tracking the True Toll of the Coronavirus Crisis

Even though the other examples aren't corona deaths, untreated corona does cause pneumonia because it affects a patient's lungs. No government has been counting deaths properly, that's for sure. And corona popped up on February worldwide, but governments got chill and only acted when it was too late so they had to enforce severe restrictions to prevent further expansion. The best solution would have been to have a shorter lockdown and then do massive tests to ensure that work could begin, but the second best option is this to prevent the further spread of the virus and to ensure that everyone can stay healthy. Even if the short term outcomes are shitty, which they will be, it can prevent more long-term issues relating to not acting against this virus

It's around 5% when I checked it 2 hours ago, and the idea of the confinement is to prevent more deaths. Apart from the recorded ones, the death rate of all countries has skyrocketed as many cases go unreported. This "flu strain" as you call it lasts much longer than the actual flu, it has long-term consequences to your health after you are cured, and there's no evidence that once you catch it that you are forever cured from it.

Farm production has been continuing even after the state of emergency was declared, so food is still being grown. The problem is that there are not enough laborers that want to pick fruit, since in Europe most of them come from the East and they don't want to risk moving just to pick fruit under these conditions. Idk if the US has stopped farmers from working, but at least they haven't done so in Europe (my uncle is a farmer and he's been working).

The death rate is not 0.03 but over 3 per cent, and in Spain it's over 10 per cent. The Spanish economy is about to become ruined by being on total lockdown for 7 weeks, but we're all trying to best to ensure that no one dies and that the number of cases doesn't increase by 10 thousand new people every day. Money's gotta come from somewhere? That's why we're asking the EU to provide reconstruction funds. We know how screwed this has been, but it has been the only way to protect more our elderly people, and it has prevented a greater collapse of our health system.

It was tough being alone in the Netherlands for a month, so I decided to fly back home when the situation improved. I'm feeling much better being back with my family, but I'm getting quite bored. How is it treating you?
