This:
Meanwhile Scott Gottlieb, whose recommendations apparently are driving the federal government’s response, is talking about August as when we can expect to return to “some elements” of our “normal lives”:
If we keep this country on lockdown until July or August, there will be no “normal” to come back to. The economy is not a light switch that you can turn on and off. The businesses and jobs we are losing every day aren’t just going to magically come back as soon as Gottlieb and people like him say it’s OK to turn the economy back on.
The cure … assuming lockdowns are the cure and the experience of many countries suggest they are NOT … will be far worse than the disease.
