Baaed on people’s biological work function, the social life of the nation depends on the health of its economy. Shut down (immobilize) the economy and the nation is in a state of biological shock similar to that of an individual organism. If prolonged, both the society and the individual cannot survive. This fate is in store for America if an economic lockdown is imposed as a way of dealing with the coronavirus pandemic for an indefinite, open-ended period of time. This is the symptomatic solution that today’s mechanistically trained epidimeologists and many politically oriented people on the left, who know nothing about the vital function that the economy has on social life, are recommending.
The effective way to deal with the pandemic is keeping the economy alive and allow the nation’s society to undergo a social contraction as it is being done through the practice of social distancing, through taking social hygiene precautions against infection and keeping medical illness out of the hands of politicians.
