I struggle to take Musk seriously. He has too much to gain from getting people working again.

His production operations are notoriously behind schedule and only accelerate by throwing more (literal) bodies at the problem.

Can we please stop pretending that economic destruction doesn't kill people? Because it does.

If the food supply chain gets disrupted, as many fear that it may, that could be a lot of people.

No one is pretending that.

Now, does anyone care to address my point, rather than brigading down something because you actually don't have a response?

No one cares to address point that have been addressed already.

If we talk about the numbers then opening up a country runs a risk of even higher daily deaths and longterm economical damage due to lack of workforce after the disease passes.

Americans want to be South Koreans without taking South Korean measures. You simply cannot have a cake and eat it too.

>... food supply chain gets disrupted.

Food supply chain disruption is known thing because populations without herd immunity that congregate together, if one person in that herd becomes ill, the disease will rocket through the population. It's happening already. It's really easy for Trump to sign papers to force a company to produce food. Trump can't sign papers to make individuals healthy enough to work or make individuals unafraid to congregate for work purposes.

Single-handedly? Wow. Here I thought it was the tireless work of hundreds of dedicated engineers.
