have you seen our economy explode since mid-April? look at the dow jones since early march

if we were scared, there wouldn't have been a surge in May when things re-opened


The Dow Jones is not the economy, it’s a stock index, and stock indexes are often out of line with economic realities. Especially as they become disconnected from larger economic trends by way of targeted Fed policies meant to juice them up. Like is happening right now. Real economic numbers are still incredibly grim and while forcing the country open will give a false sense of resurgence based on short term indicators, the long term health is still grim.

I’m not advocating dragging anything out for years. I’m for taking tough actions in the short term and reasonable guidelines after benchmarks have been met(and some states have already met them, so no need beyond reasonable social policies is needed). We already know from history that if Florida locked down tomorrow it wouldn’t need to do so for years, but maybe a couple months, and if they did like model countries could reopen without a new peak surge and history shows their long term economic outlook would improve much better than a floundering response that fails to minimize spread for an indefinite period of time. Which is where they are trending.

as soon as we ease these restrictions, you'll see what is happening in Florida and Texas, and scream that we have to shut it down again

a couple of months...again

that's the whole issue. you are acting like it won't keep happening over and over and will magically not take years

you've also failed to tell me how, without a virus, we ultimately prevent all these deaths. i'm being 100% serious
