Show me the actual numbers or I will just continue dismissing your opinion as ideological, and that is fine, you have the right to your own opinions, just please don't pretend they are factual if you don't have the numbers.

I'm not sure if you realise this but I'm not a research institute.
You can try and Google if you're really that interested.
I'm also not sure if you realise most people took more than one day off (some an entire week), or that 2 billion is not that much for an entire economy shut down for a few days. Or that nobody really knows for sure and it's pratically impossible to find unbiased statistics in this case. Or that ultimately I don't care because it won't change how I feel about it in any way.
