I sense the divide is growing

You have on one side those who agree with the measures that are being taken, see Covid-19 as a serious health issue for the nation, and want to save as many lives as possible.
On the other side you have those who see the measures being taken as an overreaction that is destroying the economy and costing too many people their jobs and business. Sacrificing a few unhealthy elderly is acceptable damage to save the economic health of the nation.
Now that we’re into this a bit, where do you come down?

I'm all for whichever approach has JV ready for "opening day."

Difference in R0 between total quarantine and what we have today does not justify the economic destruction that would ensue.

I was waiting for a bit opportunity in the market, so I am OK with this

Good thing is We'll see what we see. My wife and I are pretty lonely out here in the country in my house on the lake. I'm going to keep fishing till the fish drop from Wuhan.

Put me down for #2.

I think we should lay up for about a month so that we can prevent avoidable deaths by “flattening the curve”, but we have to ask whether any longer is worth mortgaging our economic future.

We know where you cum down.

Just being honest, we will need to find a happy medium. We cannot sustain the level of economic loss for more than, say 2-3 more weeks at most. At the same time, we cannot let this thing run rampant.
There has to be a compromise between acceptable losses in the economy and acceptable losses of life.

When it's like 1000 people vs 350million, yes.

This is my side from the beginning and it is nice to see others joining that were not earlier.
By next week the only people supporting the drastic CV19 measures are the completely worthless.

Yeah, I mean, now that we (we being politicians who have zero skin in the game) have decided to tank the economy for this, I hope it stays down for a long time as I pour more money in at lower prices. I'm not worried about job security either, so hopefully it'll pay off down the road for me.

Being on the medical side of things, and I know the aggressiveness of the virus, I fall on the proper precautions side.
One way to slow it down.
There’s isn’t an overreaction when 4,000 people have died from something.
It’s easy to know that if these measures weren’t taken the numbers would be really high.
So anyone saying it’s an overreaction, well it really doesn’t matter what they say. Let them bitch and complain while we beat this pandemic.

I’m in the middle, there are ideas in both groups you stated I agree with and some I disagree with.

I say shut everything down that's not essential right now for a month.
After that we've done our best. Everyone back to work and what happens happens.
