[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, I think you are still focused on preventing infection. This is simply impossible to do. If it was possible, we would have done it with the seasonal flu since it kills so many people each year. As is, even vaccination is a hit or miss for seasonal flu. The coronavirus by best current measures is *more* transmissive and *more* deadly. People who have been kept away from getting it now, will get it later. The only thing we can do is to spread out the infection over a longer time period. There is no way to prevent COVID-19 spread. [/quote]

Yes, I am focused on preventing the spread of infection. COVID-19 is 10 times more deadly than the seasonal flu and appears to be much more contagious. I am all in favor of re-opening, but only when sufficient preparation has been done to do so safely. I think the crux of the issue is that sufficient preparation is difficult and Trump is doing nothing to assist. Therefore, many don't want to address the topic at all and just want to open up and come what may. I am completely in favor with that attitude going first. I oppose a re-opening that sacrifices some for the benefit of others,.
