Nope. We done way to much of this panic mongering “what if we open too early”
We need a serious discussion of what happens if we open too late. Delaying things like evictions or government utility payments does nothing to help the economy survive. It just piles up a bunch of delayed debt that will have to be addressed, It merely spread the pain out, it does not cure it.
Your are so wrong it hurts. Our economy has not seen a hit like this since the 1930s. Not even 09-11 or 2008 did as much damage as this is doing right now. The other thing you really need to start thinking is the US is the engine of the World economy. It not just us that is in the balance
You cannot live in perfect safety ever. You MUST stop fantasizing that there is some sort of shut down that will keep you safe forever. There is not.
Flu kills more people every year, yet none of you go into hysteric panic over it. People need to start taking some personal responsibility and end to this foolish mindset that if just make everyone hide under their for 3 months everything will go back to normal. It will not. The “fix” being purposed here is going to be far worse then the problem.,
We need to stop with the panic mongering and start doing some serious cost data analysis of the effect of the solutions being purposed. We need to stop with this infantile notion that we need to “destroy the economy to save lives”. No we don’t.

We recovered from the Great Depression. It was painful and it took a long time but we did it. Recovering from death is impossible.

You think I don't know that? There simply is no scenario in which the economy gets back to normal any time soon. Our choices right now are between opening up everything up now when we have over 100,000 cases and rising and the economy crashing anyway when people start dying and self-quarantining anyway or between sticking it out a little longer, buying ourselves a bit more time to find a vaccine or cure, and then rebuilding our economy after the danger has passed.

The lockdown was never about "perfect safety" because that's impossible. It's about flattening the curve and slowing the spread of infection ENOUGH so that our health care system can handle it. We only have so many ventilators and ICU beds available.

Flu has a death rate of 0.1%. CV has a death rate of 3.4%. Also we have a vaccine for many flu strains. You are comparing apples to oranges.

We have. The opinion of the medical community on whether our health care system can handle the projected cases of CV if we reopen everything now ranges from "Uncertain" to "Don't do it." I will wait until someone with an actual medical degree says we are past the peak. I don't hire barbers to fix my roof and I don't let Wall Street make my health care decisions for me.
