But hey lets keep clicking and locking down.

First, Bezos treats his Amazon employees poorly. Pay is market rate or better but work conditions are very harsh. He makes Frank Lorenzo look like a people oriented CEO. So we generally agree there. Online sales went up 250% after the lockdowns started. For some businesses this virus has led to windfall profits.

As fas as the number of deaths being reported, do you think those number are fake? New York state is losing 600-800 per day although it is trending down finally. The Post didn't just make up those numbers, they come from various official sources.

They can't totally reopen the economy without 10's of millions of the new fast COVID-19 test from Abbott Labs and also the tests that show if you have the antibodies to COVID-19.

Maybe they need to give "I beat Corona Virus" or "Corona Virus Survivor" T-Shirts to those who have the antibodies and now test negative. They could then be allowed to work in high virus risk areas.
