Covid-19

Something I've been wondering about, will we see a national uptick in suicides as folks become more stressed about the financial and emotional toll this is putting on their lives, combined with the loneliness and and no hard date of when life might be back to some semblance of normalcy.
 
What are you talking about?
Not sure if you're watching the press conference, but toggle it when it's over and President Trump mentions it in his opening statement. Then about 30 minutes in again.

Recent interview with Dr. Michael Osterholm. He’s considered one of the ‘go to’ experts on this topic in the world. I’ve been reading ‘everything’ on this pandemic and Osterholm knows his stuff and tells it like it is.

Coronavirus pandemic: What's 'normal' now? What's next? An interview with Michael Osterholm.

To add -

If you are one to go down the "he's a liberal shill" route, this is not the thread to do that in. Please and thank you.

Shill? I don't think that's what @Blizzard said in this thread. I'd have to find it, but "doomsday predictor{alarmist]" seemed to be the description.

I was not speaking about Blizzard necessarily, just overall. But I deleted it because before you posted this because it came across more aggressive than I had intended.

Probably.

Yes, opinions differ. He's gotten a fair amount of air time. Without throwing any stones, I'll just say I'm not as enamored with Osterholm as others. He's a data scientist; nothing mystical about him. I shared my views earlier in this thread and don't really have anything more to add.
