I've started reading more Stephen King so I can be appropriately fearful for today's society.

Hopefully it’s just a ripple but the government won’t think twice about imposing stay at home orders again. It’s pretty simple, if the hospitalization goes up they’ll shut it down. Also as far as herd immunity, it’s not that simple...... that’s going to take years not weeks. In order for that to have happened in the time you’re talking about, lots and lots will have to die.... Other countries have essentially stopped the virus, down to zero almost, we haven’t.

Au contraire. The cost of this shutdown in both human and economic terms will turn out to be so high, no one in government will ever do this again, even if we had a far more serious pathogen for which it might actually be indicated.

Everyone fights the last war and in this case it’s become clear that our own fear defeated us.

You cant even see any truth can you? You just vomit numbers that are fed to you like the lemming that you are.

Oooh, snap.

Well played sir.

Trump has made it very clear we're not shutting down again, no matter what. Governors are a wild card. However, not being shut down won't force people to participate in the economy. Even with everything open, if we only to rebound to 50% of last years numbers, that means the airlines are roughly 50% overstaffed come October. Containment is the quickest way out of this mess, but it'll never work if super spreaders are running around.

I'll just leave this here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/healt...s-study-finds/

Fron the article:
"Societies around the world are weighing whether the health benefits of anti-contagion policies are worth their social and economic costs,” the Berkeley team wrote. The economic costs of shutdowns are highly visible — closed stores, huge job losses, empty streets, food lines. The health benefits of the shutdowns, however, are invisible, because they involve “infections that never occurred and deaths that did not happen.....“The whole point of this study is to help us understand what we got for this tremendous sacrifice that the country has gone through. Ultimately, whether or not it was worth it is something society has to decide,” he said.

The early indicators of community spread were akin to seeing cracks form in the ceiling and realizing the roof was about collapse, he said. The shutdowns were painful and exhausting, but “nevertheless everyone caught the roof and held it up before it crashed in on everyone.”
