Here’s what I think (worth at least $.02).
DJT has no choice but to restart the economy ASAP. The shutdown has been a disaster far beyond COVID-19.
Due to its highly contagious nature, C19 will make its way through most of the population. As long as the hospitals aren’t overwhelmed, the same number of people will die with a long drawn out curve, or a short higher curve. BUT, a short curve reduces the enormous economic pain.
The only other advantage to drawing things out is that better treatments may be developed - and that’s what we should all be hoping for, an effective treatment. I still have some hope for HCQ+Zithro+Zinc, but haven’t heard much new information...
At any rate, if DJT can get the economy largely back on track by November, AND fewer than 100,000 die total, I think he’ll easily win the election. If either of those things isn’t true, things will be dicier...

disagree; there will be nothing easy about this election...and you are quite optimistic about this year’s fourth quarter being robust, with reopening businesses having to contend with reduced business capacities and distancing requirements...and regardless of the death total, it will be hung around Trump’s neck like the proverbial millstone...
