Yes, reread the post I responded to, he was stating reopening is a bad decision. We've flattened the curve with a lot less deaths than was predicted by the models WITH mitigation, and the reopening plan is pretty solid. Do you think we should should continue the stay at home orders until we have 0 new cases or deaths?

With that said, and to play Devil's Advocate, which is worse? Most models that I've seen have shown that if New York had enacted measures two weeks earlier, their deaths would be between 50-80% lower. Now, you can't get those two weeks back, but if you wait an extra two weeks is there any data that suggests that X number of businesses are more likely to fail over waiting for that period compared to opening now? Also while you can't resurrect the dead, there does remain a possibility that jobs lost are not lost forever. So when talking about job losses, shouldn't we also consider how many of those jobs are gone forever vs. displaced for a while vs. gone to be replaced by a shittier job? There are degrees to this. The small business owner that is forced into bankruptcy and the single mom trying to feed her kids that gets laid off is hurt far more than the part time server who loses their college drinking money. |

Mayor Garcetti of los Angeles was just on TV saying the biggest dangers are people who have the Covid but show no symptoms and go into the general population as "Super Spreaders"
Trust me, "Super Spreaders" is not a DVD you want to rent in certain parts of Los Angeles. Looking at you, Koreatown. |

Buy a year of staying in business.
This first and foremost gives the public more trust because by then we will either 1) have a strategy in place to target the most likely to suffer severe consequnces from the infection 2) treatment to atleast limit the fatalities and infections 3) a vaccine. Any of those scenario provides more confidence into the consumer. Other ways the idea of the economy opening and coming back is pure fantasy. Without that you can kiss the small businesses goodbye. They need a prolonged bailout. |

This virus has been here since November at least if not October. Would you really be surprised after almost 6 months if 100,000 people in Ohio had it?
