    Default How long should the shutdown last? a year? 6 months? until after Trump is reelected?

    How long can Americans stand being locked down?

    I suggest we have to reopen in time for the new school year to begin. Even tho there is no solid evidence that Summer temps will stop the spread.

    But who ever gives the order to reopen, will be blamed for every single death that follows.

    Trumpf predicted the pandemic would be over by April >>

    “Now, the virus that we’re talking about having to do ― you know, a lot of people think that goes away in April with the heat ― as the heat comes in. Typically, that will go away in April. We’re in great shape though. We have 12 cases ― 11 cases, and many of them are in good shape now.” [Feb. 10]

    “Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.” [Feb. 10]

    “I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that’s a beautiful date to look forward to.” [Feb. 10]

    “We think and we hope, based on all signs that the problem goes away in April.” [Feb. 13]

    “There’s a theory that, in April, when it gets warm ― historically, that has been able to kill the virus. So we don’t know yet; we’re not sure yet.” [Feb. 14]

    “I think it’s going to work out fine. I think when we get into April, in the warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on that and that type of a virus.” [Feb. 14]

    Ford shut its doors permanently yesterday. In another month or two many grocers and other "essential" stores will do the same.

    Can we isolate the infected and let the healthy return to work?

    Well, it's already escaped obtainment. All we can do is slow its spread. Those who are most vulnerable will just have to be extra careful when we reopen.

    You can be certain that there will not be the usual gatherings in the run-up to an election that might not even take place.

    I think things should be assessed as time goes on.

    After the end of this month we’ll have better data. What this may come down to is making a decision in terms of ‘what death count will you accept in order to get ease the restrictions?’.

    One way to keep any one person from being responsible for the decision is to make it a national referendum.

    Some people think objecting to the lockdown is simply about the economy and money. Well, it is that. But this lockdown business is going to come with some pretty ugly social costs [and it’s own death toll] if it goes on for a significant amount of time. Alcohol consumption is way, way up. Who knows about the drug use. Suicides.

    And an actual Depression is no joking matter. There’s no rule that says ‘oh, you’ll pull out of it in time’. That isn’t guaranteed. It’s not inconceivable the government would collapse on account of it.

    I’m not saying do this or do that except to say this virus will run it’s course—one way or another and it may come down to what the country is willing to risk in order to keep the death toll down.

    And that BD, is the most depressing post I’ve ever written.
