Do you have any evidence that they worked?
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, for example, has been credited for issuing his stay-at-home order relatively early, on March 19, when his state had 1,000 cases and 19 deaths. Cuomo followed suit the next day, but by that time New York had 4,000 cases and 30 deaths.
1 month later, April 19...
California reports 973 dead

NY, according to Cuomo, reports 10,000 dead.
Those numbers don't make any sense. Did "mitigation" work in California but not in NY?
Does it really make sense to continue "mitigation" when it can't be determined that it is actually doing anything beneficial when it can be determined that it is doing severe economic damage? Why all the hatred towards the people in Michigan who want to go back to work? Keeping them home isn't going to keep any one alive in NY. This whole thing just doesn't make any sense.
