Thank you ):

AM1, do you know how many people will die bec of this in the long term through suicides, lack of nutrition, lack of scientific discoveries and so on. How can you be so sure about the total societal cost of one vs the other.

How do you not recognize that that would be a consequence of mass deaths as well?

Ok, what’s your point??

Guidehouse relax. I am doing a cost benefit analysis for our society and can’t help thinking that we will be worse off as a result of these economic restrictions.

Too early to tell, but if the expected death toll after spread plateaus and treatment engineered is not significantly higher than that of the flu then I’m with you. We shouldn’t treat this differently and it just becomes a fact of life. Right now the issue why we cant just have business as usual is because a) no vaccine and b) hospital capacity (which I personally think is contributed by mass hysteria and non-severe cases)

Bro we just went through this on the other thread

Also weak economy delays all the scientific discoveries. Quarantine costs kids to the education.

I know it’s hard to say this without hiding behind anonymity but which cost is higher? Letting people face the virus or causing the economy to collapse?

OP, if you gave us a context, I would have given a more valuable answer. You got this!

Wanted to know how different is management consulting in the US via-a-vis India?

Background : working as front end consultant in India.

Sr Managers have no sense of personal space in most companies. Money is goood.

How are things in US as I wish to join consulting in US for a few years for int’l exposure
