I need to correct a bit of illogical thinking, though.

The world is not made of money, it is made of many things, including people.

If there are no people there is no economy.

I realize Wall Street and Donald "Kompromat" Trump are spazzing out over the impact of the worldwide cronoavirus, but, people aren't born to die for others' bank accounts.

Milan (click here)

Rome - Italy’s government (click here) early Sunday took the extraordinary step of locking down much of the country’s north, restricting movement for about a quarter of the Italian population in regions that serve as the country’s economic engine.

The move represents the most sweeping effort outside China to stop the spread of the coronavirus, and is tantamount to sacrificing the Italian economy in the short term to save it from the ravages of the virus in the long term.

By taking such tough measures, Italy, which is suffering the worst outbreak in Europe, sent a signal that restrictive clampdowns at odds with some of the core values of Western democracies may be necessary to contain and defeat the virus....

The people of Milan and other areas of the WORLD built their economy. It didn't happen to spring up. The people of Milan will again resume their economy when it is safe to do so.

Honestly. The wealthy are sincerely a product of greed.
