Let me put it this way: I can assure you with 100% confidence that if models at the start projected 60,000 deaths instead of the 2.2 million, the United States would not have shut down. That says it all, really.
We're getting close to reaching 60,000 and THAT IS WITH SHUTDOWNS. What do you think it would have looked like without shutdowns? We're going to go over 60,000 even with all of these shutdowns.
And I say this as someone who is supportive of opening up the economy sooner rather than later. You have to be honest when making your arguments. I really, really hope that Georgia opening up does not lead to a significant increase in the number of cases and deaths. I highly doubt that will be the case.
