On the Claim by Stanford Medical School's Scott Atlas that the Economic Lockdown Has Resulted In Approximately 1.5 Million Lost Years of Life (the Effects of Unemployment, Despair, the Postponing of Medical Treatment, etc.), Nearly Double that of What the Corona-Virus Has Produced - https://thehill.com/opinion/healthcare/499394-the-covid-19-shutdown-will-cost-americans-millions-of-years-of-life

And these number could get much worse (JustFacts.org claims that the damage could be as high as 7 million lost years) depending on how long the unemployment-rate stays at these depression-era levels. Hopefully we get something real soon that at least resembles a V-shaped recovery because anything less than that, those empty shelves will start to become familiar and the price of what's left, pretty damned steep, my prediction.
