Actually in their estimate, the number of lockdown-caused deaths from disruption to cancer treatment ALONE is FAR LARGER than all Covid deaths.

I know one guy who has stage 1 stomach cancer. He was scheduled to have an evaluation at a cancer research institution. But It was cancelled without being rescheduled.

non hot spot regions. Even management of hot spot regions should be re-evaluated in light of the findings. I'll link the initial findings of the USC study - for the Stanford study, Google is your friend, I can't link 2 on same post.
I agree with what we did, but the new information calls for a reevaluation and loosening of draconian measures. It clearly indicates that most of the country can get back to work. No there won't be "no risk", but while there is always some risk even with the yearly flu, the risk from Coronavirus will be plenty low enough to be less than the alternative risks of continued shut down.
From here on out, it is ALL about politics. We know who will oppose, and we know who will support........but we also know that from a medical perspective, it is reasonable to change back to a model where the at risk people are quarantined, but not the general population.

It is a pandemic -- a real one ... a deadly vicious virus, -- even assuming the infection rate is vastly under-reported due to asymptomatic and other persons who are not tested.
Americans from all political segments are jumping through their ass to fight and manage "the beast." They are working in concert.
Governors have difficult painstaking decisions to make consistent with their duty to protect the public and keep the economies afloat.
It is "not all about politics" or the "media" or whomever else you want to pretend are the puppeteers.
RESIST bringing our country's economy back on line.

Joking, of course.
Time for most of us to get back to work.
