This Pandemic is just a couple months old.  Look at the date range of those others.   Give this a year or two until a vaccine is create.  IF IF IF IF.  Big IF.  These numbers are going to continue to grow.

And we are shutting down the economy for those few deaths. Give it another month then open the economy. Jobs are lost. Life savings are lost. GDP is crashing along with the stock market as we race toward a great depression. Get people back to their jobs.

When having to choose between a "certainty" and a "maybe" always go with the side of the certainty. All these deaths predicted can't possibly take into account all the factors and the effects of what we are doing now to prevent it's spread. These estimates are guesses, MAYBE this or that will happen and it will vary across states and counties. It is a CERTAINTY that our economy will collapse with this continued shutdown and many more people will suffer. Government just giving you money isn't going to help long term. That money is coming from you and when you are no longer able to create wealth due to near-zero economic activity then it's just monopoly money. Just printing more dollars isn't increasing the wealth of the country but just lowering the dollar's value, i.e. inflation.

If we don't start opening up after the end of April then things will really start getting desperate.

I think after 30 days Trump will let people get back to work.  That should mitigate and slow the spread. Just concerned that states like California, possibly NY and Washington might go rouge stopping people from going to work. Both Trump and the Governor Cuomo have mentioned they want people to get back to work as soon as possible. Living is a risk. We can eliminate risk of living on this planet if nobody goes to work and sits in their house. We have to get back to work or the cure will be worse than the disease. After 30 more days people will die from the disease. Next year approximately 50K will also die from pneumonia that deadly contagious upper respiratory infection. This flu season approximately 35K died from the ordinary flu in the US. Every 37 seconds someone dies from a heart attack in the US. What I'm trying to point out is that life is a risk.  Eliminate all risk and also eliminate the wealthiest country on earth.

The governors would have to play ball.

You know Democrat governors will give him shit.

A week or so ago, we were told people would be able to resume their lives, including getting back to work and school by April 2nd. That didn't happen. In a very short time the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus has resulted in a longer and longer predictions of the time it will take before the shutdown can be lifted. Thirty days may sound good today. This could change again as soon as tomorrow.

Trump said the coronavirus cure cannot ‘be worse than the problem itself’. I agree. The longer the shutdown lasts, the worse of the economy will become. Pretty much everyone in the world is impacted by recessions and depressions. Only a percentage of us will get sick and possibly die from this virus. Like it or not, this is something which has to be taken under consideration. It's a decision I wouldn't want to have to make.

I don't believe April 2nd was a firm date, more like an optimistic wish.

I don't believe April 2nd was a firm date, more like an optimistic wish.

As you will see below, closure dates have changed many times in the past couple of weeks. You are probably right about the April 2nd date being originally being an optimistic wish.

Oregon's Governor Brown originally announced schools closures on March 12, 2020 until March 31, 2020. On March 17th the closure was extended to April 28, 2020. On March 31, 2020 it was announced by the Department of Ed that schools would likely remain closed for the remainder of the year. On March 17th Governor Brown issued a 'Stay at Home' directive. The federal government can only recommend closure dates. States can accept those recommendations or not.

"Surgeon General Jerome Adams addressed that second issue in a Today show interview when he said, “We live in a nation that has a system of federalism and the governors get to make the decision, but we’re going to give them the best possible guidance we can.”

Legal experts have said President Donald Trump doesn’t have the authority to impose a national lockdown as the heads of countries such as Italy, Spain, France and Britain have done, but he does have some tools at his disposal. Trump alluded to one of them Wednesday when he said he has considered restricting air travel between COVID-19 hot spots.'
