And the stock market is up 500+ points.

We have truly lost our way. bawling

I thought human life was valued higher.

In context...
That response was in reference to whether or not he thought we were going to see the 2.2million deaths some of the doom&gloom say'ers were predicting.

Where it ends up we will know in a few years... but hopefully it is much lower.
Just like all the early predictions of death and destruction, were way off the mark for SARS & Swine Flu(h1n1)
That latter has continued to kill more & more people every yr since the '09 pandemic... but no one cares anymore.
