Spoken like somebody with no skin in the game. Go preach this nonsense to small business owners that have had their livelihoods taken from them and see how long you can keep your head above the parapet.

> Support temporary benefits to your fellow citizens.

What benefits? Support how? Prayers?

Support that small business in your community with your wallet.

> Also congratulations for not caring about a 1 in 200 chance of death.

Where's the data to back up any close to an assertion like this?

You betray an inane non-appreciation of what is actually happening to people economically.

Go out and spend your money, support local businesses.

Edit: To address the claim about the 1/200 rate directly, that number is based on bogus 0.5 - 1% global IFR estimates that haven't been controlled for any demographic group. The IFR for people under 70 is less than 0.1, and likely much, much lower for under 40. And that's not even controlling for anything except age.[1]
