A measured opening has been mentioned many times. Here in Texas reopenings are starting but certainly not "willy nilly." Masks are required in public spaces still. No medical facility has been overwhelmed, and with the moritorium on elective procedures, hospitals have lost
a lot of income. Health care workers hours are being cut, doctors are taking pay cuts while still covering more patients. Hospitals who aren't well capitalized are talking about shuttering. Instead of not overwhelming the system, we are starving it. We have a privatized health care system, for better or worse. It needs patients of all types to survive.
I think those who want lock downs to continue are not looking at it from the perspective of the unemployed or the business owner who is likely going to have to shutter. Forget the economic costs, which are going to be huge, how many lives are going to be lost to other causes. I think the last statistic I saw was that for every percentage point unemployment rises, 40,000 people die. That's crazy to think of the longer this thing goes.
