I get it that this is a nasty virus; that the rate of infection is 3 times more than normal and that older folks and those with underlying conditions are at a much greater risk to succumbing to this virus. However the real reason for the hyped up response by the govts and the medical professions as I understand it, is to "flatten out the curve" so that our hospital system is not overwhelmed in a contracted period of time.

So the virus will be under control in a few weeks, but the economy will be damaged. My hope is not so badly damaged that Americans will not want, or not be able to get back on airplanes in droves, if for no other reason than to get over our collective cabin fever.
