No it doesn't it just puts a dent in the check books of the 1%.
You said it yourself that the poor in our country have it too good. Now all the sudden people will be dying in the streets? I don't think so. You sir are hysteric. You should contemplate getting a hysterectomy done.
The other day on 4/10 over 2000 people died from covid in the United States.
I just googled how many people died because the economy is shut down and nothing is really popping up.
This one's pretty easy.
This was a result of 2008. We could expect similar outcomes this time around. And this is just one metric that is somewhat measurable, there are other indirect deaths that are much more difficult to measure.

Before the recession, the suicide rate in Europe was falling. But it rose by 6.5 percent in 2009 and remained at that level through 2011. And in the United States, where the suicide rate had an upward curve even before the recession, the rate rose more sharply during the recession years. Ultimately, according to the report, which appears in the British Journal of Psychiatry, North America and Europe together experienced roughly 10,000 more suicides during the severe downturn than the trend from earlier years predicted.
