1) The employers will shut down, guaranteed. It's just a matter of whether we do it now or a few weeks from now. Just keeping everything open and running through this is not an option. The only way you can do that is to have an incredibly competent government that is on top of testing and contact tracing at all times, and that ship has long sailed. Look at the UK to see how this "keep things running and just protect the vulnerable" strategy plays out. It's already starting to break down and they'll be in lockdown in a week or two, but many more will ultimately die than they would have if they had locked down before they were forced to. It's not a question of if we lock down, but when. 2) Disagree. Again, look at Europe right now.
