My opinion... not that you asked lol...
I think the balance is the key. Cannot let either one “crash”
It’s going to be a delicate dance between the two, but I trust that the President is up to the task. He has to go with his gut and not those who want to pull him too far in either direction.
No one knows how to balance this, but the President and the medical advisors have to try.
Medical advisors will always favor lowering the risk of the virus, they are medical people.
Even when this is over (assuming it ends), we will never really know if we did the right things. But people on both sides will insist they were right anyway.
Elections will turn on voter beliefs about it.
