That's the thing - everyone is just guessing. Nobody knows anything. The anti-shut down types are also guessing about the economic toll even though they have no concept of what people are going to do when they are "allowed" back out. No concept of whether infections rise again. No concept of whether real herd immunity can be achieved. No idea of when a good treatment may come.

it's all a guess

I agree

But we still need more cases to approach critical care capacity, regardless

Our current rates are highly inefficient and will make this last longer irrationally

It really isn’t a guess, the economic toll has been severe and will continue to get worse the longer this drags on, barring additional trillion dollar cash infusions - which I am not a fan of.

Meanwhile, everything about this virus has been a guess from day one, and we have made all decisions based on worst case scenario. On day one this is excusable. On day whatever-we-are-now, it’s stupidity.
