Here is what my concern is. I think the financial ramifications may end up causing the loss of a lot more lives than the corona virus ever will cause. Why do I say that? We know heart attacks, strokes are vastly more prevalent when people are under severe financial pressures, or under long term joblessness. We know suicides will spike. 20% to 30% of all suicides are tied to joblessness. Overdoses. This country has been running at over 60,000 deaths, largely young people, to overdoses, for over a decade. A lot of that started in our last great financial crisis. So I think you're going to have a whole ramification of secondary or primary deaths more to our younger generations than clearly coronavirus because it typically doesn't impact the young very much.— Eric Hovde
