Time to get our citizens back to work folks.
Give it a week or two, stick with the Easter launch and tell the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions they’re quarantined for another 30 days in an abundance of caution. Limit travel overseas.

The Diamond Princess and Grand Princess had over 800 positive Covid-19 cases with 10 deaths so far. This is a rate above 1%. The demographics are skewed older but also wealthier with access to good health care (and ventilators). Approximately 15% of the Covid-19 positives require hospitalization and 5% become critical. Most in critical condition will have long term complications if they survive. I will go out on a limb and say human life is more important than the economy or even my job.
