Some kind of shutdown or social distancing makes complete sense.

But for how long does it make sense.

If it were for 2-3 weeks I think most businesses could figure out how to weather the storm.

Open-ended, with governors and federal politicians hinting at eight weeks more... that’s devastating.

Explain exactly how we are saving lives, again? There’ll be a vaccine in 8 weeks?

Wrong. There will still be thousands of deaths whenever the social bans are lifted.

Flattering the curve doesn’t save lives; it delays the spread so ICUs aren’t overrun.
