Unless we're locked down for a year or more, in which case we will have unemployment and economic depression that will make the so called "great depression" look like a speed bump. And that still won't leave the infected rte at 0.0000000 anyway. If only one person has it anywhere, this all starts over.

Torpedoing the entire global economy for this is asinine.
