This is a huge problem. I feel so bad for the people that have to deal with this.

What about a bus full of children flipped and there's no room in the hospital for then because all the beds are full of covid-19 patients.
You aren't looking at the bigger picture with that analogy.

I think there is reason to be hopeful given the success we’ve seen so far with Hydroxychlroquine/Azithromycin
Social distancing is working for a vast majority of the United States which is also promising.
If you can’t see this as a positive, I don’t know what to tell you

True. Should we look at the expected unemployment after all of this is over? It was less than 4%. What is it going to be? Greater than 10%? 20%? More?

Maybe my view is different than most, but as a 20 something old I don't view my life as more valuable or important than someone that is 70 years old. Old people have a right to life as much as young do. If this virus caused serious harm to children under 15 instead of the elderly, do you have the same opinion?

So are mine.. But if my mom or dad were in a health emergency and they didn’t have the resources in place to save their lives because hospitals are swamped with COVID patients, I would be beside myself
That’s why you can’t go back to normal life right now

You could slowly watch 7-10 million people die because of overall hospital resource shortage

Outside of NYC and NOLA, which we can use as a barometer of how bad this could get, Trump really has done a phenomenal job responding to this pandemic. Social distancing has worked for the majority of the country and now Hydroxychlroquine/Z pack has shown promising results. There’s been an increase in protective masks and ventilator production. There’s a lot of reasons to be hopeful
However, if you go back on that now and send people back to work like nothing happened, it will be a colossal failure. Severe cases and deaths will rise to the millions and flood hospitals if you go back RIGHT NOW. People who would normally have a hospital bed for a heart attack, flu, GI bleed, bacterial pneumonia would die without hospital staff/resources available. That would almost certainly outnumber the deaths from suicide people are touting will come about if we don’t get back to work now.
TLDR; Just wait for the next month. We’re not talking July or August. It’s not “4-9 months.” Just wait until we replenish stock of medications, masks, ventilators and for the weather to change. Hospitals will be better prepared for the time when we DO go back to work in April.
You either have to predict we are going to be in the house until Labor Day, or you have to insist we are out of the house by next Tuesday.
No room for any amount or reason here.

Whether or not it's slowing down the corona, it's working to keep me away from the idiots who annoy me on a daily basis.

It will take longer for the economy to recover if we just go back to normal living... and people would die in the millions due to lack of hospital resources from COVID
Going back now would be catastrophic
