Wait 2-3 weeks for things to flatten out a bit. Open most of the country and businesses back up, but responsibly. Keep high problem areas (NYC) locked down. Keep people over 60 and those with health conditions locked down. Keep practicing social distancing. Educating those about the virus and how to mitigate it.
This is a large country. There is no reason why we should be treating the entire state of Wisconsin like we are treating NYC. Lunacy.
There is no guarantee that if we shut things down for months everywhere, that this thing won't flare up again like wildfire. We have to let this thing run its course and mitigate it the best we can without destroying everything.

Excellent post!
We can't use stats like the Clay Travis point Enfuego used. The point is if we did nothing, this would flare way beyond 8k daily deaths. For one single virus to cause more destruction than all other causes of death combined is a scenario we are trying to avoid. And it isn't necessarily the strength of the virus. it is how fast the curve goes up and how medical resources will be unavailable due to the sheer numbers. Thats why they talk about flattening the curve. We don't want a situation like Italy where we flat out tell people if you are over 60, don't bother looking for treatment because you are too close to death to qualify.
The fucked up lockdowns everyone is witnessing is hopefully at least teaching us social distancing so when we open up again we can avoid a crazy second wave.
The pain will be felt beginning 3Q...assuming we don't open back up asap.
Demand for everything won't be back to pre-corona levels for years. Unemployment and/or laziness will be at all time highs.
Businesses will try and operate with negative earnings for a couple of months in hope demand picks up...but don't count on it.
They really got us this time.

is that a good point? do you think scientists and doctors would have a light bulb go off in their head when they finally heard that golden nugget, because dynamic stats and historcal stats are super comparable and valid?
if Clay Travis was a basketball coach and had to prepare to play the Atlanta Hawks I guess it is safe to assume he would really only prepare and game plan to stop Vince Carter.
why?
well Vince Carter has 25,000+ career points
Trae Young? he only has 3000+
don't even get me started on how much Clay Travis could ignore Zion Williamson.
the main point here isn't really even the collateral damage of citizens that die. its tragic and its what we hope to avoid.
but this is a war correct? we have a war time president?
who are his soliders?
do you send your soldiers into a battle with enough supplies and ammo to last a few weeks?
a battle that you know the other side will not lose infantry but exponentially gain them?
this is a virus that will be far worse if you are exposed more directly and exposed more frequently and in more volume.
guess who is going to face those 3 above criteria?

Nurses are our most front line solders.
but let's look at the most dangerous and technical infantry that we have to fight with.
here they are. less than a million of them
wow check out their age groups
good luck docs

how much do you plan on paying for health insurance next year or in year 2022?
hospitals will collapse, doctors will die, nurses will die. health insurance will collapse (but we are worrying about cruise lines)
good luck if you have a stroke, cancer, heart attack, bad asthma attack, car accident in the next 12 months.

honestly, we'll never know if this was an overreaction.
politicians, especially trump, will be boasting about the number of people saved by shutting down the country while his opponent will point to the unemployment line as the harm he caused. it will be drilled into your head for the next 7 months
my hope is that the govt knew something they aren't telling us and they NEEDED to shut it down to save millions. one possibility is that China grossly underreported deaths of the virus which might explain why 20M less Chinese have a cell phone subscription today vs Jan 1

Liberals unfortunately set the narrative or try to get ahead of the story. Backfires almost everytime. This time , the country followed the far left hysteria and we're going to pay for it big time... Pointed this out awhile back..
Quarentine older people to the max
Have a health emergency alert..
Ban the travel where its needed.
Everyone else carry on. If you feel sick , have symptoms stay home..
This isn't a perfect solution. But far better then sinking the economy
