42% of Americans report undesired weight gain during Covid 19. The average weight gain is 29lbs; 41lbs for Millennials.

78% of Covid 19 patients hospitalized in the US overweight or obese, CDC finds.

Krispy Kreme offers anyone who shows their vaccination card a free OG glazed donut.

CDC says that 2020 will be the single deadliest year for Opioid overdose, reversing a slight two year dip in cases after 7 straight years of increase.

60% of Americans report increased drinking during the lockdowns, with 1/3rd of them reporting binge drinking.

Suicide numbers aren't in yet, but are feared by many experts to dramatically exceed 2019.

Social isolation, particularly among kids, has costs that won't be known for a long time.

Lockdowns perhaps came too late

The only way to respond was probably the way Oceania, Korea Strait, Sea of Japan Pacific Ocean nations did the nations here got it right, treat it serious, clean your streets, bleach and wash down everything dirty, have some kind of mask guide line or distancing guides isolate the sick and lock it down early...otherwise it spreads like wildfire.
There have been warnings of animals flus before and previous virus like SARS, MERS, the issue this time was the whole of the broadcast system, the Western media was too focused on Brexit or Trump's tweets to see it coming

The problem was most of the Health Care systems in the West were failing, if our medicine and health was so great then why do American's travel to Cuba for surgery, why do they buy their medication across the border in Canada, why do French and British people travel to Spain for their pills then stuff their suitcase full of medicines, Western Health systems were dying the Covid Grim Reaper just arrived early and pushed it all over the edge

Costs will be MASSIVE

one issue is how each nation responded, Americans generally have rights which involve freedoms of movement, rights that allow you to talk to protest to worship and Freedom of Speech, rights that prevent unwarranted searches and these are good things. Rights for people on this planet are not always the same, some Ex-Dictatorship in parts of Asia or ex-Dictatorship in Europe that's not an issue, the government can Lockdown, stop movements crush the spread of the virus and I guess at the same time perhaps ' temporarily ' crush the rights of the peoples.

The United states of America is not a single voice, it is politically schizo even at the best of times with only two parties speaking the political back and forth is insane at the best of time. Is a multi culture of voices or one good leader and one voice better? yet what happens when Covid takes places with some kind of homogeneous politics and Corona is stopped by a mono-culture, they can lock it all down South Korea, Norway, Australia, Japan, Iceland, New Zealand or say a more strict 'dictatorship' style nation in Asia or Europe can lock it down... I don't think their government lockdown policy would be welcome in America. I dont think even a softer Oceania style lockdown would fly in the United States the USA likes its freedoms more.
'Singapore' may be an example of a multi-cultural mixed people nation doing well but if you meet people from Singapore they are very Singapore even the Ex-Pats and the military has a big role inside the country

The other option that was kind of tried out was 'herd immunity' keep things open, some business will survive, everyone gets over the new Corona flu and becomes immune to any Covid mutation.... that was the plan ... the British, Sweden, the USA sort of tried this. It turned out to be a disaster, Swedish then flipped the Prime Minister Stefan Lofven announced a reduction in the limit on public gatherings from 50 people to eight, citing lack of voluntary compliance with health recommendations to the public. Sweden had no real solution to protect the vulnerable, the older, the sickly from the rest of the population who you've decided to let get infected. If you don't have that, Sweden's entire model falls apart as a consideration....very much like the nursing home disaster in NYC
Once its inside its too late the damage is already done to the economy, after this its Politically a mess its damned if you do and dammed if you don't

The Hollywood studios the big guys already lost $20 billion, they will probably lose 160 + Billion, these films are linked to hundreds of other jobs down the food chain. the only guys making big money now are the guys selling Kroger, Wallmart, Costco, the French stores Intermarché , the online shipper Amazon, Sainsbury's, Carrefour Italia, Aldi, Netflix, Xbox, Sony Playtation, Loblaw and Metro Inc Quebec as everyone is stuck in a small travel radius and only allowed g

Proverbs 23:21
"For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags." Trumptard gluttons and drunks cause their own economic problems, then vote for Trump to solve those economic problems.

There are 100 Bible Verses about Gluttony
https://www.openbible.info/topics/gluttony

An over-indulgence in either food or drink does not glorify our heavenly Father and is often the precursor to a failed ministry and fruitless life – and there is also the strong possibility that it will contribute to early death. No wonder the writer of Proverbs warns: For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty – and drowsiness will clothe one with rags.

Not only is excessive eating and drinking identified as destructive… but so also is laziness or slothfulness. In chapter 34 we read a little sleep, a little slumber. A little folding of the hands to rest – then your poverty will come to you as a robber and your want will be like an armed man.

You blame the lockdown, but Bible says it wasn't the lockdown that caused these problems. Instead, it was sinful nonbelievers without self-control, that is to say Trumptards acting against their own health, wealth and general well-being. Voting for Trump is 2024 won't help Trumptards master their hunger because Fatso Trump is the poster-boy for gluttony. Trump has so little control that he can't touch alcohol because he fears becoming a drunkard like his brother.

Why are you quoting me the fucking Bible?

There's real problems happening here, and you're spouting fairy tales.

And check your TDS, TrumpTard. Tired of hearing about Trump from you at the end of March.

I hope that's not a real question.

There is no "one" good leader.

Look at Trump and Biden*, and then look at the people who support them.

Dictatorship is NEVER a good thing. Maybe you luck out and the first leader you get does more good than bad. Even better for you if you're one of the people who agree with how they handle business. But what about the next leader after that one dies or is overthrown?

I really hope you weren't posting that as a legitimate question to yourself and allowing the Covid lockdowns to start making you envy people who lived in a Dictatorship.

Why are you quoting the Bible, SECONDRATE?

What is the First Commandment??

I'm sure you remember enough of your religion to remember THAT.

Oh, the costs will be much, much greater than that, and they will be financial.
http://www.fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?tid=64016

But, yanno, Covid-19 isn't really "the cause" of the catastrophe. The system has been unstable for decades. Look at 2008: a spontaneous collapse of finacialism, not linked to any specific stressor. They [western central banks, western governments] haven't fixed anything since then; in fact, they've made the underlying problem worse by doing more of the same: MORE debt, more fake money, more bubbles.

That's not the road to prosperity, that's the path to disaster.
