Economy vs health: they seem like two worlds, but of course they are not. It's a shame that two languages are spoken in this way. While that is not necessary: everything can ultimately be expressed in terms of 'well-being' and 'public health'. We are not used to that, usually we do it in terms of 'money' and 'economy'.
Healthcare will also have to be laid on the ventilation, once the money is used up by the Lockdown. The Lockdown has already cost dozens of billions if we only look at the hard, direct editions.
From Financial risks such as the chance of economic depression, losing at the stock exchange, future support for banks and the like, are not included. If that happens, the amounts involved are still many, many times higher than what we are thinking about now. That means: cutting, cutting, cutting. Then it will certainly be the turn of the care.
Bij kleinere zorgbudgetten hoort kwalitatief lagere (of minder) zorg, wat ook weer effect heeft op de levensverwachting, volksgezondheid en sterfte. Wimpel het ‘geld’ argument dus niet te snel weg onder het motto "mensenlevens zijn onbetaalbaar".
We can no longer use the billions with which we are now trying to save 800 human lives to save one hundred thousand lives.
