Aren't we also closing field hospitals and sending that big white BO-AT back to ORF? Sounds like we have a decent stockpile of ventilators, and N95 mask production is in full swing. The curve is flattened, hospitals can handle the mitigated surge, the virus weakens. What else do we need to convince ourselves of before we start crawling out of this social/financial hole?

The Swedish seem to have handled this correctly. They have never been "touchy-feely" types. They are approaching her immunity.
Their immigrant population (mainly Middle East) haven't faired as well. Lots of hugging and cheek-kissing (including male-to-male.) Lots of communal food bowls and eating with hands. And several generations living under one roof.
That's a case study right there.
If this lockdown continues the cure will be worse than the disease. Our healthcare system was never overwhelmed. We can take the band-aid off slowly and adjust as necessary.
It's time for all of us to be a bit more germaphobic going forward. I've been ridiculed for being one for decades and I'm okay with that -- haven't had a cold in 10 years. I avoid handshakes. I use my own pen when I sign receipts/hotel sheets.
And if the virus returns in the fall, I say let it run its course.

But the GA governor said that the barber is allowed to open with the mask on if he feels like it.
