Yeah, phrases like "the potentially lethal respiratory illness" are really spin, and they aggravate me more and more as this house arrest continues. Of course the disease is potentially lethal. A cold is potentially lethal, given the right set of circumstances. A cut finger is potentially lethal, if you're a hemophiliac. Drinking too much water is potentially lethal.

What alot of people don’t understand is that an economy is as much psychology as supply and demand. Buyers need to have confidence in the future before they part with their own resources. Suppliers need confidence that they will make a profit before investing to provide a good or service. The economy took off after Trump was elected because the psychology of the country changed–people had confidence to buy and sell. That confidence has been thoroughly shattered thanks to hysterical, ill informed, and thoughtless lock downs imposed by governors. Governors may lift the lock downs but until confidence is restored the economy won’t recover. It’s therefore critical that leaders of all kinds emphasize that this CCP flu is not lethal to the vast majority of the population. It’s OK to come out of the fear cocoon.
