And the real question is, are we just extending the inevitable? If we just did “what” we could be back to normal? What is our example country of how to get back to normal quickly? (complying with our laws of course) New Zealand probably has the fewest current cases (of a first world country) but they had to lockdown after reopening, still basically have no international travel, and who wants to bet that they are going to be locked back down in a month once they open up travel with Australia?
We all see Fauci and whoever the cable news outlets present to us to push their narrative (much of it to meet a political agenda) but there are renowned scientist that believe we are just extending the misery. Always good to listen to an opposing view...

Maybe they are wrong and it will be worse, but it seems lithe data they present from states and countries that have had minimal lockdowns certainty bolsters their case.
