I can’t make out those links at the bottom, but I found it interesting that overall deaths actually tend to go down during a recession:

That’s not a reason to continue the shutdowns, of course—the reason is to slow the spread of this unprecedented pandemic which is happening on top of normal deaths. But it does counter the implication that the death rate will actually go up as a result of the shutdowns.
Faulty “models.” Predictions that turned out to be nothing more than wild-assed guesses, and all the while the Lib media presstiutes fanning the flames of panic.
The Wuhan virus “cure” is worse than the disease!
Time for the country to go back to work.
There’s been serious discussion and concern about those who are receiving more on unemployment than they would if they returned to work. I say it’s not a problem, because if they are offered their job back and refuse it they’ll lose their unemployment.
The employer to receive the grant/loan MUST use the amount received to pay their workers. If they don’t it becomes a loan. When the employer offers an employee their job back and the employee refuses to return the employer is going to have to document he tried to fulfill the grant requirements. If they don’t it becomes a loan and must be repaid. Filing for bankruptcy is not an option when owing the gov’t money, if it’s the same as student loans.
Here’s Calif’s unemployment requirement. I’m sure it’s the same for other states.
Collecting Unemployment Benefits in California:
“If you’re a California worker who’s been laid off due to the coronavirus pandemic or for any other reason, you might be eligible for unemployment benefits.
California Unemployment Eligibility: Availability to Work
To maintain your eligibility for unemployment benefits, you must be able to work, available to accept a job, and looking for work. If you are offered a suitable position, you must accept it.
You must conduct a reasonable search for work, and certify (on your claim for benefits) that you have done so. You should keep records of the employers you have contacted, the dates you made contact, and the outcome. The Employment Development Department may ask you to provide this information.”

Agreed, Peggy. Although I’d go further and say that if certain politicians are worried about unemployment being a better deal than working, perhaps the problem isn’t that unemployment is too generous; perhaps it’s that wages are too low.
