It is the eternal problem @roleerob: security or economy.
It is true that if the economy for each country suffers terrible damage.
People do not earn to live. But it is no less true that activating the economy and letting people die on the streets is not at all sensible. As always the solution is in the middle.
Cheers.
Something of a student of history @hugo1954, I liken our present situation to arguably the most difficult time for any people group. Times of war. While I myself have open questions about how deadly this pandemic actually is, I say this on the basis of taking our "fearless leaders" at their word.
In times of war, can you cite any examples in history of men's response being to hide in their homes and not come out? I do not myself know of any. People through these "war is hell" tragic periods of history do the best they can under hellacious circumstances. Being prudent about their safety, caring for their loved ones as much as possible, continuing to work, etc.
Thank you for stopping by and adding value to this post!
P.S. That is a beautiful picture. Is that from somewhere there in Argentina? It appears to show mosques in the background.
