The approach to shutting everything down should definitely have been handled different. Most places aren't New York, which accounts for 23780 of the 63861 (37%) deaths. They most certainly should have SIP orders for NY.
Missouri, OTOH, was one of the last states to do the SIP orders, so you would expect to have a high amount of cases and deaths. Thankfully, that is not at all what is happening. Missouri as of yesterday had reported a total of 343 deaths or 0.5% of the total of all deaths in the US and there are dozens of states just like this. Shutting down all these states is completely pointless. We are not all crammed together like NYC. I think once things open back up we may see a slight increase in cases/deaths, but it won't be significant. |

I was on the close it down train, but when you look at the numbers and see that like 65% of all the deaths in the US are in 10 states, then it all seems a bit over blown.

If there is no effective/scalable vaccine for ten years are you willing to support a continued social distancing mitigation strategy of no mass crowd events, full capacity restaurants or “non essential” retail establishments? Explain why you think an effective vaccine that is scalable to provide to millions of people is a more realistic short term strategy than herd immunity.

I also understand staying shut in for 2 years is not an option so we have to find a strategy that is best for both lives and jobs , ripping the band aid off doesn’t sound like that is the plan that would be most effective for that at this point |

Poll after poll is finding Americans overwhelming support the stay at home orders and fear lifting too early.
One from the Kaiser Family Foundation asked adults nationwide whether shelter-in-place orders were “worth it” or “causing more harm than good.” An overwhelming 80 percent said they were worth it. In the Economist poll, the share of Republican voters who believed social distancing could be ended and businesses reopened now or within the next two weeks was much bigger than the Democratic figure, but both numbers were modest: 26 percent of Republicans and just 6 percent of Democrats. https://thehill.com/homenews/the-mem...&ICID=ref_fark |

I would be like the chiefs completely changing their strategy after winning the superbowl, could it still be effective sure but if it ain't broke . I also understand it is not sustainable though. |

We're getting protesters protesting a planned anti-lockdown protest today. I think both sides are just looking for a reason to enjoy a nice spring day outside.

You put out the main fire through the initial measures, develop a system of testing and contact tracing, and slowly reopen with the flexibility to quickly address outbreaks thereafter while your newer distancing measures keep the reproduction number low enough to ensure the virus decreases in prevalence. |
