How many millions of job losses are acceptable to save 100,000 lives?
This is the problem in a nutshell if we don't have someway to do a rational review of this. What do you think politicians will do the next time a virus shows up if this becomes the new normal? The same thing. Whether we need it or needed it or not.
Clearly densely populated areas should actually really for once in your fucking lives prepare for a surge of hospital use. Maybe buy those ventilators that the brilliant democrat governor neglected to do rather than forming yet another commission to start a death panel like that brilliant democrat governor did.
This was an unprecedented ass fucking of America. Lets not make it a precedent
1. Shut down for another month or two, basically until the hospitals have enough equipment and people are used to washing hands and not breathing down each other's necks. 2. Start opening most services again with the caveat that old people like Race need to know they will have a high chance of getting fucked up if they catch it 3. Slowly build up herd immunity through the people that aren't old and frail until a vaccine is ready
The world won't be able to afford to stay shut down through even the summer. No way we make it until a vaccine is available. These next couple months are here to ensure we have as many ICU beds and ventilators in place as possible.
We basically try to limit exposure as much as you can while trying to act normal until either 70% of the population has caught it or there is a vaccine.

Still waiting on this mountain of bodies that somehow justifies the over 6 million unemployed Americans.
Like we say, fuck off.
Can a homely nurse tell us to stay at home again?

You want to shut it down again you need to prove it. Not theorize about it
So we shut down every winter because models.
What expertise?
