Do you even understand the economic and societal implications of waiting for the number of positive tests to go down with massively ramped up testing capacity?  Do you know how this works?

Did you hear him say "oh yeah, sucks that some people don't have jobs.  I mean I want to go to a restaurant too..."[/quote]

The economy won’t reopen no matter what. Even if restaurants were open, no one would go. Ditto flights, hotel, conferences, weddings, metro, etc. Fear of the virus has cratered the economy. [/quote]

Then we should just reopen and let the few who are not risk adverse go on with normal life.[/quote]

That might work if it didn’t put everyone else at risk because there’s no way for the not-risk adverse to guarantee they won’t catch it and spread it. It’s like saying that you feel safe spraying an AK-47 into the air at midnight on NYE and anyone who is worried should just stay home and not worry about stray bullets.[/quote]

That is a ridiculous analogy because an AK-47 is much more lethal than Covid.  I REALLY wished they taught stats in school.  We have a entire segment of society that believes whatever is on the front page of their news app is the most risky thing.  [/quote]
