The answer is not to reopen the economy; it's to freeze the economy. The government should provide everyone with the economic wherewithal to survive this period without leaving home. It's criminal to make people have to choose between their livelihood and their health.

Where is organized labor on this?!! If everyone stands together and refuses to go until the immediate danger has passed, no one would have to be sacrificed. This takes POLITICAL COURAGE.

This just doesn’t seem realistic. You would somehow still have to get enough food to people. Keep electric companies operating. Keep water and natural gas companies operating. We (unfortunately) have a society that is very dependent and overpopulated

This pandemic so far has no deadline. What kind of government can economically support its people like that ? Lets start working with all the safety messures as much as it is possible

So true. And we could have done it immediately. Instead we took care of Wall Street and the billionaires.

Isn't it human to interact though? How do you say closing yourself off to the rest of the world is healthy?

What about when your work gives you meaning and purpose? Should we be denied that?
