Completely agree man. It's like shooting an ILS without the ATIS or enough gas for a go around; we could break out at 1,000, or we could hit minimums IMC. We should at least get the weather report first.

I don't think anyone thinks the solution is to spend the next 3 years sheltering in place. But calling to reopen the economy right now is like designating a peeing section in the community swimming pool. For now, we need to be patient and realize we're not experts and this problem is too complicated to just 'common sense' through it. There are literally dozens of companies working on anti virals, vaccines, research, COVID tests, etc because they all realize there's a huge financial windfall to solving a problem that's holding a $20T economy hostage. But right now, it's too early for us to even know what we're up against.

If doctor's and epidemiologists endorse it, then I'm inclined to trust them. If businessmen and people with political or financial ulterior motives are pushing counter to expert advice, then I'm inclined to distrust them.

This is more like the flu than shooting an ILS if you feel like comparing apples to oranges.

Haven't been keeping up with current events I see. I'm starting to realize most of you aren't actually keeping up.

The CDC estimate for 2019-2019 was 34000 deaths. For the whole season.

We have more deaths in 3+ months with everyone at home than the flu over an entire season. Like, if you don't see the difference there, we just can't have an intelligent conversation about this.
