Good question. How many deaths within your family and circle of friends are you willing to accept from political instability resulting from lockdowns?

Zero. And so far there have been zero, but I know of people who've actually died from COVID-19.

We are very, very far from political instability still. Let's not be alarmist.

Of course. It's not like a global recession in the midst of widespread political polarization has ever caused problems before.
