@Dtown3 Do you have information that I don't? Because what I see in other countries is a strong reduction in coronavirus cases and deaths, combined with minimal losses of employment. Yes, they're hitting a second wave now, but it's much easier to handle when the starting point is a few hundred cases per day. It's hard to imagine that the U.S. doing a legit shutdown + wage replacement would have yielded a worse result than what we have now.

@Dtown3 Europe would beg to differ. And you conveniently left out the "+ wage replacement" part of my statement. Of course things aren't going to go well if you close businesses and then give everyone one $1200 check to last 6 months. You have to make sure businesses and individuals have enough money to get through the shutdown. And it's not really surprising that all the dense New England states that were the first to get hit with coronavirus ended up having the most deaths. Their numbers are looking pretty good now. I'd love to know why the death rate is so high in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arizona, which aren't very dense at all.
