the german gdp is down over 10 percent. A decade of growth is gone because of this failed policy. The young generation will suffer from this for a long time. Seems like the current politicians dont care about our future.
The swedish GDP is down 9% despite them (according to the article which is misrepresenting a lot of things) not locking down at all. Even if Germany took a completely different approach (which would have led to a New York Style situation in the whole country) there would basically not be a difference in gdp numbers.
Even if true, it's still less down than any other European nations, and the only one not in a recession, because you're not taking the previous quarter into account as well.
> Swedish GDP is up this quarter, as about the only nation in Europe
so... is it possible to talk about the estimated gdp right now or not? Because those two statements don't fit together.
You're casually talking about the deaths of hundreds of thousands, maybe a million people.
_Of course_ your government cares. They _also_ care about needless death. They're trying to walk the tightrope.
If you want a look at a country that just goes: Eh, whatever - check out sweden, and the US.
Which have at least as much economic damage, if not far more.
You couldn't be more wrong.
