I think 5 months more of social isolation is just not possible economically.
People need jobs, and in this country their jobs are linked to their health insurance and their ability to fight this horrible illness and remain financially solvent.
How are hospitals going to be able to pay their staff, buy equipment and medications, and provide care if a huge amount of the population does not have insurance paying the hospitals? Same for doctors offices, surgery centers, nursing homes, group care facilities? How long can they go before there just isn't enough money to pay the salaries and buy the supplies?
During the Great Depression, the WPA put able bodied men and women out there building infrastructure, which we all depend on, 90 years later ! But you can't have people on work crews if they have to be 6 feet apart and wear PPE, can we?
This is what really gives me the night terrors
Well one thing is clear: The President wants to open things up as soon as possible imo, emphasizi g that “we need to get back to work”, “our country wasn’t built for this”,
and “we have to open our country again.”
Dr. Fauci, on the subject, talked about pretty much the same thing I was talking about earlier today which is that it has to be done precisely, carefully, or there could be a second wave, moo.
