If we didn't mitigate we would have had the same number of infections but probably more deaths due to lack of resources in the hospitals. |

I'm sure there's some of that, but there's got to be more to it.
I think the biggest thing that people probably aren't really understanding (or caring about?) is that the mask isn't there to protect the wearer - it's to protect everyone else. A couple weeks back I walked into the grocery store. The woman in front of me in the vestibule sneezed, covering her mouth with her hand. She then placed that hand directly onto the shopping care she was using and proceeded as if nothing were out of the ordinary. The mask would have at least HELPED that (though no one is arguing that it's 100% effective). |

All this talk about major changes and how different things will be post Corona.
I'm not sure I see it. If you slowly start opening up and things don't go haywire, you'll just continue easing into it. If it continues to not explode, wouldn't theoretically you get back to "normal" and as long as no explosions, be ok? |

If we knew 100% that we'd have a vaccine universally available in July, I have to imagine that most people would be OK with keeping many restrictions in place until then. If it's December, that gets iffy. And if it's 2022, I think most would agree that's not sustainable. It just sucks how much we don't know about any of this. It's been a wake up call for how much we really know about disease prevention, that's for sure. |

So you are trading a run on the hospitals which could possibly generate in more deaths because of a lack of resources to stringing it out. |
