Probably a trillion dollar deficit.
Unintended businesses closing down.
State governments in revolt.
Share market carnage.

And the virus is still out of control with no forecast end date.. FMS!
People need to back the f up. Id love to see anyone else do anything different in this situation. Half the things people are getting outraged about would harm another result, this is a no win situation. Lets see.....

A half hearted lockdown.- according to who?
An extra 1-2 million people without work. - was always going to happen, would you rather 10 million?
Probably a trillion dollar deficit. - not within govs control
Unintended businesses closing down. - was always going to happen, remember you want a 100% lock down?
State governments in revolt. - our fault, years of political f'ing nonsense and in a action from both sides, swapping parties with the wind, what did we expect?
Share market carnage. - out of govs control

The cruise ship scenario is embarrassing and the silliness with the hairdressers I concede is a joke. Just shut all but non essentials and be done with it. You cannot simply stop all people from working unless you have bulk candles.
