A friend of mine in DC, who is in his 60s, contracted the illness. He recovered completely, and his spouse never picked up the illness.

I want to be sure I understand your response. You are advocating that SIP and business closures are needed until effective treatment/vaccine is available? If so, it was nice to share this planet with you. There's no way any economy will survive in that mode for the next 18-24 months.It likely won't be until effective treatments or vaccines are widely available. But it could stop spreading before then. Many unknowns.
somewhere along the line, flatten the curve became extend (and extend and extend) the curveWow. Every data point used for medical is equally accessible in economy.
Every year people die sadly from contagious ailments. To pretend that that data is somehow different is very odd. That the tens of thousands that die every year Are somehow different than those now and that every expert that has backtracked on projections and the current CDC numbers for those under 50 would absolutely not bring any sort of lockdown.
Social distancing was designed to not overwhelm hospitals. They are not overwhelmed. In fact they are being laid off all over the country.
Opening safely and trying anything to get the meat 50 million back to work should be imperative.

Now I'm not saying anything on the numbers in that Excel spreadsheet (a different topic altogether), but I'm amused by the use of manipulative imagery. I wonder what the two smiling portraits and the two scowling more candid photos have in common.
So what should we do about the 40 million (and counting) unemployed Americans, wait until the end of the year?Something will likely be available by the end of the year.
The data is that this virus is the deadliest of our lifetimes. That is the data.MERCK CEO said most likely next year and definitely next year for their company. A small chance one company gets there, but no guarantee we ever get one.
The idea that lockdown should stay until that seems really odd based on the data that exists currently.
But it’s not... It’s been proven that it’s not the most deadly virus of lifetimes.The data is that this virus is the deadliest of our lifetimes. That is the data.

I think somethings that people are overlooking is that NY (NYC specifically) were dismissing this and encouraging people to go about their business as normal. That on top of the years of budget mismanagement that negatively affected the hospital systems caused a lot of their issues with the virus.
I have no doubt SIP mandates worked and helped, but in some cases it was a little too late, and in most cases was an overreaction.
Correction- it’s the most dangerous virus of our lifetimes. It’s not the deadliest because of the lockdowns.But it’s not... It’s been proven that it’s not the most deadly virus of lifetimes.
You are still reading from the March talking points...
Maybe, because now 1 in 4 Americans are unemployed, but not because of this virus.Correction- it’s the most dangerous virus of our lifetimes. It’s not the deadliest because of the lockdowns.
Most likely emergency vaccines will be available in the Fall. Treatments possible too

No, that's not data, that is a political narrative.
HIV is a pretty dangerous virus. Not contagious like this, but still a virus.Correction- it’s the most dangerous virus of our lifetimes. It’s not the deadliest because of the lockdowns.
And 900,000+ people aren't dead that may have been without the shutdowns.Maybe, because now 1 in 4 Americans are unemployed, but not because of this virus.
There are phased re-openings happening, as they should if the infection rates come down based on accurate testing. Leisure flying is not something that needs to occur in the first phase of re-openings.Possibly. Possibly not according to CDC and MERCK and J&J CEO today.
But are you really suggesting national lockdown until then? There are states with literally less than 30 deaths and they should be locked down because other areas are struggling?
There are over 40 million people unemployed since the start of this, thousands of businesses that have closed. What should they do? Just live on handouts, lose their homes, etc because a virus that doesn’t impact those under 50 much, might pass it to people that we can keep safe with precautions?
Ill agree on one thing, it is the most dangerous virus in our lifetimes, but not because of the sickness.
Where did you get this number ? From the famous faulty model? And flattening the curve doe not reduce the area under the curve, it just extends it.And 900,000+ people aren't dead that may have been without the shutdowns.
