I agree with you. It's nice to see reasonable people who understand the risk personally. I saw a comment the other day where somebody said that we can't open anything up until a vaccine is developed. That is one extreme. then you have the other crowd who says just open it up and let me go see football and baseball games. I think the worst part about all of this has been the fact that it's happened in a election year. We have a habit in this country of turning every election into an existential crisis, which is a recipe for creating radicalized viewpoints. Our media has now turned this into a partisan issue and now it's being treated as such. |

It's like only spraying enough water on a fire to keep it from spreading out of control but not enough to put it out. When you're house is on fire there really is only two sensible options. Let it burn down your house or put it out.
It doesn't make a lot of sense to get the R down to ~1. This is a partial lockdown that last until the vaccine comes out and kills 1600 people a day.
It seems better to lock down and test and trace harder until r gets to .5 then wait for it to mostly extinguish then cautiously open up. Or let it rip through the populous until we have herd immunity.
