What have we accomplished in this time? We know basically what we knew a month ago, we have no vaccine or treatment, and we know very well that the old and compromised are at much higher risk than the young. We also know that every passing day gives those with capital to withstand this more leverage within the society as more businesses go under and more people are thrown to the dole. This we can be certain of, especially in the US, where it seems to be repugnant to provide serious assistance to the poor. Maybe you are one of those with great wealth, but the rest of us would be happy to put grandma in an empty house somewhere and get back to work, before there is no work to be had. I personally feel this way and am happy to take my chances with the virus rather than the "goodwill" of the rich. I suspect mine is rapidly becoming a majority opinion as savings dwindle and businesses go under.
