Older people would rather die than let Covid-19 harm US economy – Texas official

Smjerokaz pažnji je niz priloga koji nas navode na spoznaje da je stanje trećega svjetskoga rata, s ubojitim ‘alatom nano-veličine’, nevidljivim a ubojitim  za ljude, države, sisteme, ekonomije, buduće uvjete života i rada…. Ciljane grupe za 'odstrijel' su stari ljudi koji svojim nestankom olobadjaju ogromna sredstva mirovinskih fondova u svijetu, koja će se, u eventualno pitomije vrijeme,  usmjeriti na nešto ’ jače i bolje’. Nikada nije istodobno bilo skoro devet milijardi ljudi i rapidno se ide na drastično smanjenje ljudi na PLANETU. Kažu da bi optimum bio oko šest milijardi…

Older people would rather die than let Covid-19 harm US economy – Texas official

Gov Dan Patrick says grandparents would be willing to die to save the economy for their grandchildren

Lieutenant governor Dan Patrick tells Fox News: ‘Do we have to shut down the entire country for this? I think we can get back to work’

As Donald Trump pushed to re-open the US economy in weeks, rather than months, the lieutenant governor of Texas went on Fox News to argue that he would rather die than see public health measures damage the US economy, and that he believed “lots of grandparents” across the country would agree with him.

“My message: let’s get back to work, let’s get back to living, let’s be smart about it, and those of us who are 70-plus, we’ll take care of ourselves,” Lt Gov Dan Patrick, a 69-year-old Republican, told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night.

“Don’t sacrifice the country,” Patrick said. “Don’t do that.”

Patrick said he feared that public health restrictions to prevent coronavirus could end American life as he knows it, and that he is willing to risk death to protect the economy for his grandchildren.

“You know, Tucker, no one reached out to me and said, ‘As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?’” Patrick said. “And if that’s the exchange, I’m all in.”

“That doesn’t make me noble or brave or anything like that,” he added. “I just think there are lots of grandparents out there in this country like me.”

At the White House’s coronavirus briefing Monday night, the administration’s coronavirus response coordinator, Dr Deborah Birx, said that emerging data from Europe suggested that 99% of the coronavirus deaths were people over age 50, and that many had pre-existing conditions.

That “doesn’t change the need to protect the elderly”, Birx said.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick says a failing economy is worse than coronavirus

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/03/23/texas-lt-gov-dan-patrick-says-bad-economy-worse-coronavirus/

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told Fox News on Monday that he would rather perish from the new coronavirus than see the economy destroyed for his grandchildren by overreaction to the disease.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, chiming in to support President Donald Trump's new focus on the economy over fierce warnings from public health officials, suggested on Fox News on Monday night that he would rather die from the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus than see instability in the American economic system.

"No one reached out to me and said, 'As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?' And if that's the exchange, I'm all in," he said. "And that doesn't make me noble or brave or anything like that.

"I just think there are lots of grandparents out there in this country like me ... that what we all care about and what we all love more than anything are those children," he added. "And I want to, you know, live smart and see through this, but I don't want to see the whole country to be sacrificed, and that' Patrick is 69, an age that statistically puts him at a higher risk for fatal consequences from the virus. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that people with lung disease, asthma, heart issues, compromised immune systems, obesity, diabetes and liver disease are also at a higher risk of severe complications from the virus. Trump administration officials have also pressed younger Americans to take the virus seriously.

Patrick's point of view is directly at odds with the messaging of many public health officials, most prominently Trump administration official Dr. Anthony Fauci. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is one of the chief public advocates for social distancing.

Fauci and others have spent the last several weeks pleading with Americans to stay at home as much as possible and to avoid social interaction as a means to slow the contagion. The aim is to give hospitals time, space and supplies to treat what is becoming an overwhelming influx of patients afflicted with the virus.

It is a divide that is pitting public health officials, who are desperately begging Americans to stay in their homes and therefore avoid spreading the virus, with some of the voices in American politics and business, including former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

In the last month, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has plunged over 9,000 points, and public officials are bracing for a brutal jump in the nation's unemployment rate as business owners are forced to close up shop and lay off staffers.s what I see."

Patrick argued that he was not alone in this line of thinking.

"I've talked to hundreds of people ... and just in the last week, and making calls all the time and everyone says the pretty much the same thing, that we can't lose our whole country. We are having an economic collapse," Patrick added. "I'm also a small businessman. I understand it."

The sentiment matches a push by Trump that began Sunday night and went into a Monday evening news conference in which the president argued the proposed cure — meaning a shutdown of American society and the economy — was worse than the disease.

"My heart is lifted tonight by what I heard the president say because we can do more than one thing at a time," Patrick said. "We can do two things. So you know, my message is that: Let's get back to work. Let's get back to living. Let's be smart about it, and those of us who are 70-plus, we'll take care of ourselves, but don't sacrifice the country. Don't do that. Don't ruin this great American dream."

Even as Patrick made those comments, mayors of most of Texas' largest cities heeded the calls of most scientists, doctors and other health care professionals. One by one, beginning Sunday and moving into Tuesday, many Texas mayors ordered or were in the process of ordering their cities' residents to stay home.

Texas Democrats responded to the comments on Tuesday.

“Republicans are not here to protect you or your family,” said Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa. “The only thing they are concerned about is enriching themselves and their stock portfolios. They would see our family members die to bail out Wall Street.”

“Texas Democrats believe healthcare is a human right,” he added. “The lives of our families, our friends, and our communities have no dollar amount.”

At the end of the Fox interview, host Tucker Carlson repeated his interpretation of Patrick's argument: "You're basically saying that this disease could take your life, but that's not the scariest thing to you, there's something worse than dying?"

To which Patrick answered in the affirmative: "Yeah."

Senioren der US-Wirtschaft opfern? Texanischer Vize-Gouverneur sorgt mit Äußerungen für Aufregung

https://www.stern.de/politik/ausland/vize-gouverneur-von-texas--senioren-wuerden-fuer-die-wirtschaft-ihr-leben-riskieren-9195702.html

Die Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Coronavirus-Pandemie treffen die US-Wirtschaft hart. Der texanische Vize-Gouverneur will dies nicht weiter hinnehmen. Wenn es nach ihm ginge, sollten Senioren ihren Tod für den Schutz der Wirtschaft in Kauf nehmen.

Anders als andere Staatenlenker weltweit will US-Präsident Donald Trump die Restriktionen wegen der Coronavirus-Pandemie offenbar rasch wieder lockern. Er wolle, dass das Geschäftsleben wieder weitergehe, "denn unser Land ist dafür bestimmt, offen zu sein", so Trump. Eine Stilllegung der weltweit führenden Wirtschaftsmacht sei nicht machbar.

Auch der Vize-Gouverneur des US-Bundesstaats Texas, Dan Patrick, will die Einschränkungen nicht weiter hinnehmen. In einem Interview mit Fox News sagte der Republikaner, dass die Wirtschaft nicht der Coronakrise geopfert werden dürfe. Stattdessen müsse es ein Umdenken geben: Patrick deutete an, dass Senioren zum Wohle des Landes "ihr Leben riskieren" sollten.
