Dan Behrman, a Libertarian Party 2020 presidential candidate, has launched a lockdown response strategy to the global COVID-19 pandemic, also known as coronavirus.

The newly launched response strategy suggests that the current administration’s talk about ‘flattening the curve’ may be a distraction from a bigger problem. Behrman argues that treating the symptoms will not solve the fundamental problem and the economy could stagnate.
Behrman explains that when talking about ‘the curve’, it is a reference to the estimated number of people who will get sick over time. Although it is an approximation, healthcare systems around the world will be easily overwhelmed if the curve is not checked and preventative measures enforced.
The Government’s attempt to suppress the outbreak has caused a trade-off between the healthcare system and the economy, which Behrman argues could have been avoided. For instance, the healthcare capacity could have been raised at the start of the outbreak.
In the United States, there are doctors and nurses who are not allowed to practice medicine even though they are fully qualified and licensed in other countries. If the Government had eased the restrictive barriers it put in place, there would be more healthcare workers treating patients.
If patent laws had been eased early on and immunity granted to companies producing supplies in demand, such as a respirator valve, vital equipment could have been readily available earlier on. But many large manufacturing companies were afraid of being sued.
Aside from healthcare, Behrman argues many households are suffering financially because of the amount of personal debt owed. He suggests that the current lockdown situation has essentially highlighted a flaw within the economy.
He argues that Government taxes and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) have made it more expensive for people to live. Behrman suggests the FHA has increased the cost of houses to four times the amount compared to before the FHA came into being.
For example, a typical home loan may have previously been 40% down payment and paid off in five years, but the current FHA standard is 3% down payment with a pay-off period of 30 years. Although this might seem like a better option for the homeowner, Behrman argues the banks stand to make substantially more from this type of loan agreement.
A spokesperson said: “Many hardworking people are unaware of what is really happening right now. From the newly launched response strategy, it is clear to see the economy is stalling and millions of people are suffering, with the worst yet to come.”
