    Not quite. The scientific method involves a look of back and forth. This article presents the findings of his study. If you don’t consider multiple potentials you will surely be surprised. If he’s right then different steps will need to be taken. If he’s wrong that’s ok too.

    Fed pumping another $2.3 trillion into the economy.

    Price per death is astronomical.

    Jobless claims near 17 million now.

    Once the virus has run it's course I think the economy will crank back up fairly rapidly. Business are as anxious to be back in business as employees are to get back to work.

    Government is still spending around $4 Trillion on this.

    At the 60K deaths predicted, that comes to $66 Million per death......

    Would you spend $66 billion if it was your life? Or a family member?
