All of these models predicting death and doom are getting really tiring. This latest doomsday model is claiming that 350,000 people will die from the coronavirus if states fully reopen their economies.

Governors in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware have a lot to consider before fully reopening. If they open too quickly, that could result in more deaths, according to a new model from the Wharton School at the University Of Pennsylvania.
Reopening states’ economies certainly comes with a cost, and that could result in more deaths.
But some economists argue not only can you put a value on human life, but they urge elected officials to do just that when making policy decisions.
The Wharton School just unveiled a model that looks at several different scenarios that could happen as states begin to lift stay-at-home orders.
“The economic costs have been enormous and we are suffering really significant, unprecedented costs as a result of these policies,” said Alex Arnon, senior analyst at The Penn Wharton Budget Model.
Here’s what the model shows: if states continue stay-at-home orders, the model predicts, nationwide, roughly 117,000 COVID-19 deaths from May 1 through the end of June, with 18.6 million jobs lost.
Partially reopening would result in additional deaths during the same time, with 14 million jobs lost.
But if all states fully reopen, it estimates nearly 350,000 COVID-19 deaths by the end of June, with a half-million jobs lost. So, the data shows the number of deaths could surge if states open too quickly.
Many more are going to die from hunger, suicide, drug abuse etc.. if we do not open the economy. That’s just a fact.
These models are nothing but propaganda to justify a continued lockdown while small businesses get destroyed. We’ve seen model after model give us numbers and projections that have been wrong over and over. Not to mention, all of the death numbers we are getting are grossly inflated through statistical manipulation.
Everything should be reopened and we need to figure out how to go about rebuilding a world that has plunged into ruin because of this stupid pandemic hoax.
