Ver: COVID-19 Lockdowns Will Kill More Than Disease Itself
Referred to as "Bitcoin Jesus," one of Bitcoin's earliest investors, Roger Ver, is among those in the camp that believes stringent home lockdowns to combat the Covid-19 pandemic will cause more harm than good.
A world wide Great Depression caused by locking down the world’s economy will kill more people than #COVID2019

Ver is considered the co-creator of Bitcoin Cash, which was up 10% Monday in trading to $256.00.
He's not alone in his assessment of the potential economic damage such lockdowns might cause.
Psychotherapist Sheri Serife Ucar and Bitcoin Cash advocate Sheri Serife Ucar agreed with Ver, warning that a depression is possible and many will not survive such an economic collapse.
Yes, Covid-19 will potentially kill high-numbers-fast. The depression that follows will likely kill-more-people-slowly-and-silently. We will less likely have a national countdown like we have now on TV's across the globe. It's a sad and depressing reality.

Meanwhile, markets across the globe have reacted to some good news that daily death tolls associated with Covid-19 in some European nations appear to be on the decline.
The Dow was up nearly 1300 points. Bookmaker.eu had the Dow favored to close OVER the 22250 mark at -130.
