We need a treatment breakthrough this month. One of these trials has to work - if they do, this can all end pretty quickly, and the economy can bounce back equally quickly. There is a lot of pent-up demand. We all need haircuts.
The conspiracy theories - in that case, if I remember right, that the CDC needs all states to lockdown so none can be a “control case” - are stupid beyond words.
As is the notion that we all are going to get it anyway so these measures are pointless, or just being done to hurt Trump, or whatever.
