[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 4461363, member: 49065"] I am not downplaying the tragic course of this germ, with those who lost loved ones and the overall stress of unemployment or lost income. But...We might be surprised of how many more lives where saved in comparison deaths to this virus by the fact of this forced lock down. Consider the closing of Bars and reduction of traffic (alcoholic related deaths), Murder rates (social distancing), illegal drug shipments due to border controls and surveillance procedures and reduction of oversea plane traffic and shipments and more national control over prescriptive medication due to shortages. The amount of money and consideration going into improving our health systems and training will save millions in the future, the next pandemic will not get the foothold that this one did and the one in l918. Another consideration is the overall hygiene put into place with washing hands, gloves and face masks that will go on way after this virus is abated. I never did like handshaking, hugging or anybody within a certain body distance and now we are finding out this germ is spreading through the air by opening your mouth, another social plus for future outbreaks.
