The cure cannot be worse than the cause. So say the Republicans. What they need to do is come up with a good estimate on how much money is being lost by shutting things down and then divide by the number of corpses produced as a result of Covid 19. Then we’ll know the dollar value of a human life to Republicans.
A similar analysis was done in Florida a couple of years back. People took the number of school children killed in the Parkland massacre and other school shootings and divided the body count into the number of dollars the NRA donated to Senator Mark Rubio’s campaign. For Mark Rubio, a school student’s life is worth $1.05.
For Republicans loss of life, say by police violence, isn’t as important as loss of property, say caused by rioting. Billions of dollars of damage have been done by rioters, but it doesn’t cost that much to bury a body. Property Rights over Human Rights – that’s the Republican Way.
