Fair enough.
There is a lot of want it to just go away out there.
Worries me more than pessimism does. (That is at least warranted, even if not optimal)
I, frankly, don't care about expense so much either. People are high value. Cannot be replaced.
Economic implications are not good. Nothing to look forward to at present. For me personally, I am just going to scale down.
Done right, it does not have to mean less, just differently.

Closing the schools might actually save money short-term, but society will be paying for those children's interrupted education for a long time. In any case, I agree that the virus will be with us for many months to come. I'm optimistic that with strict mask use and loose other interventions (anything involving large crowds closed, but most other facilities open, mostly prudent individual behavior) we can control the virus, as Japan seems to have. The political progress towards that has been pretty rough, but maybe it's beginning to converge.
