If good evidence our medical services can handle it (curve flattened) We have to at least start transitioning into “normalcy” in a few weeks... don’t think we can sustain economically and in turn socially if this continues to the point people can’t provide for themselves or their families much longer... crazy times!!!

The worse this virus gets, the worse the economy will be. Safety should be our number one priority

Based on the stats, it’s seems like Trump will be right, that after Easter is the right time, as the curve has ‘flattened’ in NY. America cannot sit inside its homes, expecting the government to hand out money, we need to get back to work, and the movement of currency!

The economy is built on us poor bastards working, spending, wasting away. Life is hard, but sitting on the sidelines is harder. What’s better: a healthy bum or a working stiff?

I am not convinced that the economy is going to "reopen" in the traditional sense until at least the fall, let alone at the end of this month.  The whole point of social distancing and quarantining is to help keep strain off the healthcare system until the appropriate tools and measures can be put in place.  I don't believe the economy should be reopened until we have figured out a way to do both mass testing and antibody testing so we can at least have some confidence in which individuals have already gotten it.  Half the battle is not knowing who might be contagious.I understand the urge to get back out, but I believe that damage of "reopening" a month, or even a week too early would be catastrophic and might send us right back into another prolonged quarantine.  Let's just do it right the first time and be done with it!

We need testing for everyone multiple times.

We need to at least get people back to work if they are not in the "underlying health or senior" category. It's time for a plan that opens the economy on a limited basis by the end of April.
