@lloydblankfein Ask democrats then yes.

@lloydblankfein Of course not. Worst public policy decision ever on a cost/benefit basis.

@lloydblankfein You haven't been "most of us" in years

@lloydblankfein "Most of us will be exposed anyway" is not a forgone conclusion and should not be accepted as an inevitability. We did not accept it with HPV, HIV, Ebola, SARS-1 and many others. We should not accept in with SARS-2 Fight. That is the economically prudent thing to do. -

@lloydblankfein #HEPA filtration to reduce the #Covid19 virus concentration people Maybe exposed to in low humidity and public spaces, like hospitals, meat processors, nursing homes, schools, etc?

@lloydblankfein Speak on it

@lloydblankfein We know the answer is no by evidence of the depression-like unemployment happening now, which will get worse if common sense reopening of economic activity is impeded by continued public health policy overreach.

@lloydblankfein “Livelihoods”??? If it were only livelihoods then we might have a debate. How about disrupting State and local govts, home mortgage industry, home values, commercial real estate, business after business, capitalism itself, and the reserve currency. Wisdom and bravery needed

@lloydblankfein You have a typo. You meant to write, "Is the public health benefit from broad lockdowns at this point worth such extreme damage to *stock portfolios*?

@lloydblankfein No, it was done in error from the very beginning.

@lloydblankfein The grim reaper forgot to consult the head of MassGeneral — FL & NY have similar populations. FL was excoriated but focused on the very vulnerable while NY focused on the broad public and increased risk for the vulnerable. NY had mass death as a result. FL saved countless lives.

@lloydblankfein It is time to go back to work dammit. The whole point of "flattening the curve" was to prevent the hospitals from getting overwhelmed. Well, check that box dammit.

@lloydblankfein No

@lloydblankfein @carlquintanilla Amen, it is very concerning that it’s just the democrats that are still willing to destroy the economy and continue to heavy hand their population.

@lloydblankfein Unfortunately economic woes take second place to election strategies...If only Election Day would come sooner.

@lloydblankfein you first Lloyd.

@lloydblankfein Forget the lockdowns. Everyone should just wear a quality mask.

@lloydblankfein Hospitals WERE overwhelmed in NYC BOS & more. Just follow #MedTwitter patients/health workers sick & dying. W/out measures taken, it would be far worse, in the US where sickness often =bankruptcy. Controlling the virus fixes the economy. Fixing economy does not control virus.

@lloydblankfein Fucking monster

@lloydblankfein Today's episode of "Dude With a Lot of Capital at Risk" needs everyone else back in the pool, now. Might mean a little more if he were also advocating higher taxes on the rich who are doing so well right now compared to 40 million people who have lost their jobs.
