I wish this post had included more context. The way its currently written it directly supports ending the shutdown without any contingency plans in place. Merely putting the following disclaimer does not absolve the author of irresponsible writing. "This post does not deny the effectiveness of social distancing or quarantine for COVID-19. I am not encouraging people to suspend these practices before official determinations have been made public. This post is to help physicians, thought leaders and public officials understand and weigh the risks and benefits of extended lock-downs versus more measured and earlier return to work measures." Words and writing are important tools for spreading information and misinformation, so without context such as "Lifting lock-downs without adequate testing and hospital capacity would lead to a lot more pain, suffering and death" this is just misinformation
