I am sorry, but you are repeatedly presenting positives aspects for opening up without presenting any of the negatives. And even these positives are very hypothetical: > Sometimes lightning does strike twice On the other hand, you say > Remember, flattening the curve does not reduce deaths in the long-run, except insofar as it avoids overrunning hospitals, which we have already achieved. If some countries have achieved this containment in the hospitals, not all, it is only by doing the lockdown, I can't believe you would think that opening up would not overrun the hospitals, if we open up, they will be flooded with new victims and those deaths will NOT be hypothetical. Although you bring up many valid points, in my opinion this is where your statement fails. Opening up WILL cause new deaths. I believe a gradual opening would be much more efficient only once the rise has already been slowed down.
