Corona Virus Public Policy Response Disaster

For a disease in the same lethality ball park as the flu, shutting down economies, and closing schools, as has been done, will be seen as a major blunder by disinterested future historians (or a major win for those seeking to centralize power and erode individual freedom in America). The damages of shut down are now beginning to appear. A Stanford study (Bhattacharya) has predicted 130 million, worldwide, will die from hunger because of coronavirus shutdowns. 130 million starvation deaths (or even half that!) far exceeds the current 1.8 million world wide coronavirus deaths.
