>Everyone going back to work is not an unrealistic scenario since there are countries in Asia that are already doing this.
You're not following the economic story very closely if you think any of those countries are "back to normal".
>Also keep in mind unemployment rates are expected during a pandemic.
Do you have a source to anything at all about how any of this was "expected"?
- Axsuul 6y agoI never said those countries are "back to normal", you're misquoting me. I meant to say they are going back to work. Further compound that by countries like Sweden that are business as usual You don't need a source. You already know it will lead to higher unemployment since pandemic -> everyone staying home -> businesses halted -> people losing their jobs (although the market has judged this as ephemeral)
- ithinkinstereo 6y agoIt’s not “business as usual” in Sweden. Many are now questioning their approach.
- aguyfromnb 6y ago>you're misquoting me. I meant to say they are going back to work. Oh, so when I asked if people were "going to go back to work like nothing happened", and you replied "Ackchyually, Asian countries are going back to work" you deliberately left out the "like nothing happened" part, and are now agreeing that it's not "back to normal"? Got it. >Further compound that by countries like Sweden that are business as usual Not true. >You already know it will lead to higher unemployment since pandemic -> everyone staying home -> In what other pandemics did everyone stay home and unemployment went way up?
- Axsuul 6y agoI have no idea what kind of straw man argument you're trying to make anymore other than I think you're looking to pick a fight by being pedantic about words. So I'll just leave it at that.
