Along with Facebook, internet and cell providers. That alone would add so much value to society.

This was such an excellent way of illustrating your point. Thank you for sharing

Not peer reviewed and reads extremely politically charged. I'd hardly call this science.

These guys are just as prone to bandwagon and herd mentality as those in Venture Capital. When they're all saying the same thing I feel it's the best time to do the opposite of what they say.

Thank you this is still much better than the useless original title

Wow that was an incredible bet.

This sounds like propaganda looking to provoke NK leadership. No super secret coup is having articles posted on msn about them...or you know they'd all be dead...

There is nothing in that article or that individuals opinions supporting such a claim with any form of evidence whatsoever. This is the sort of loose claim you can recall later on and regardless of what sort of recovery we see, still be able to tell everyone that you were right.

A recession is already guaranteed as it by definition is 2 consecutive quarters of contractionary gdp. Q1 and Q2 will both see negative growth. The real question here is when it will bottom and how quick the bounce back will be. So far the means of production have not been affected in manner that will permanently reduce their productivity. However the longer this healthcare crisis goes on the more likely that is to change. Right now it looks very likely that we are able to get people back to work fairly soon, especially now that testing capacity is ramping up so that resources are more efficiently allocated to mitigate the spread and mortality rate of this disease. Note this does not require a cure, but rather a rate of infection that does not overwhelm our healthcare systems, which is near term very solvable.

Look, you couldn't make a more wrong assertion. You would destroy countless more lives by keeping this quarantine going on indefinitely. Our economy would implode and we'd wind up in a situation far worse than what we saw during the great depression. We'd go into full stagflation and I guarantee the suicides alone would dwarf the possible death count from mass testing ppl with this device.

So we allocate 0.0001% of that 2 trillion stimulus package that just passed to educate and train people on it. Worst WORST case is nothing comparable to the worst case we could face otherwise. This is an insignificant problem.

This is a really interesting perspective on the result. I also share your optimism on what this will mean for the state of the pandemic, at least in the US for now. This very well could be the begining of the end of this crisis.
