I know you think this virus is just an old person disease, but it's really not anymore. 25% of hospitalizations in New York are people under 50. While people under 50 are the most likely to survive, what do you think happens once we run out of beds and have to send them home to deal with it on their own? That death rate is going to skyrocket.

Will it kill more people than keeping the economy shut down will? I don't know. I don't think anyone knows. But what I do know is that this virus has a LOT more to it than what we previously thought and that the situation is changing daily. Opening everything up again could potentially be an unmitigated disaster.
