The cure may be doing more damage than the disease and we need to get the economy back up and running, asap. Friedman's analogy of a cat fighting an elephant "does little good if in the fight the elephant falls off a cliff." So Trump's rant last night feed by a Fox anchor appears to be gathering support.

Medium deleted this piece that against ‘hysteria’. The author is a Romney guy, not a Trump supporter. I have to go to zerohedge which I don't respect to find the original article.

the 15 days, a set of procedures should be next instituted to reopen businesses. If you are sick you don't come to work, if you get sick you go home. Most say there are millions walking around with the virus with no symptoms. Yes they may spread the virus, but there are always risks. The risks of shutting the US could be greater. There has to be a pivot like Cuomo said this morning to get people back to work. Can't shut the world's largest economy down for weeks. If China released this, it couldn't have had a worse impact on the US.
Just a comment from another Loon!
The Surgeon General said that this week is going to be the worst week (or at least worse than last week). Can we agree that we shouldn't go from that type of week to opening up offices over a weekend?
The President's 15-day plan could have easily been a 20, 30, or 50 day plan. There's nothing scientific behind that number and there's nothing scientific behind this sudden "we have to get the economy going again" other than a bunch of people worried about November.
My guess is we will open things up in 3-5 weeks. But the final call is with the governors anyway.
In other words, that around 4/6, the healthy, under-60 portion of the population will be asked to return to work under basically normal conditions, with the most vulnerable being still asked to remain distanced.
And that from there, depending on the recovery rate (including the data we will have at that point from the current treatment protocols), we can step up the next phases.
targeted "surgical strikes" approach.

went to Wuhan for gathering right before Wuhan lockdown. So, Korea can find way by testing contacts of every church member, contacts of the contacts..... regardless sick or not, to control spread. That's the difference between Korea and U.S.
you aware that they had to sign-off on all testing kits available for the virus? All that nonsense has stopped.
