What is the concensus of this forum on which tug Trump should listen to. Should he follow the recommendation of the medical community and opt for a more complete lock down to fight the virus (err on the side of caution) or some economic advisers who want to ease restrictions in most areas (don't let the cure be worse than the disease)? If the latter are all of you going to be comfortable going to a movie, the mall, flying on a plane, eating in a fast food restaurant, attending a little league baseball game, going to church or even to your own doctor's office knowing there may very well be Covid 19 positive neighbors at the same place? Is an economy that contracts only 15% rather than 25% worth it because it means the unemployment rate goes to long term 9 or 10% rather than a short term 20% even if it means more people die and our healthcare infrastructure is overwhelmed? Stark choices that we will all face in the near future.
