The way we beat the virus is to get the economy going again! With this many people not working, with businesses suffering losses like this, state and local governments are TAX REVENUE FUCKED. Because their revenues are thusly fucked, their ability to fund things like healthcare, hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, all that will be severely diminished.
Along with strain on funding for things like fixing roads, keeping the drinking water flowing, treating sewage, all that stuff no one thinks about.

@justhecuke True, but in my case I'm maxed out, I'm a department head, I'm a director, I've been at my employer literally years longer than even my supervisors (because they're politically elected office). I don't need to build relationships, THEY have to do that with ME. My direct reports are loyal to me. They'll even tell me, just because you work for the mayor doesn't mean I work for him, YOU are my boss, he's your boss, we do what YOU tell us.
You know how you get that kind of loyalty? By absolutely never asking for it and trying to avoid it at all costs. It's a strange thing I've seen countless times in my own life, people for the most part stack up in line behind a reluctant leader, and betray those who WANT to be leaders. If you jump out in front to lead, people won't follow...if you step up when you don't want to, people see that and respect it. The more you want it the less you'll get it.

My biggest criticism of wfh is if you work from home you now live at work. You're on 24x7x365 because you're there.
It's awesome being able to clock out at the end of the day, hop on my motorcycle, turn my phone off, and boom, work no longer exists to me, until it does again.
Think about it like heroin, if you have your drug dealer's stash in the other room in your home office, it's ok if we do a little, right? Its just one more thing I need to work on, just one more email to send, I know it's 2am but just real quick....
At least that's me, if I could work from home I'd obsessively work all the time because it would be so convenient. I'd never get any life done.
Working in a physical location, which requires millions in massive machinery to do so it can't be done from home (would actually be illegal under state law to do from home) gives me that Compartmentalization I need to not be a workaholic.

Notice NO recommendation has ever said it stops the spread, everything is to SLOW the inevitable spread.
Masks, handwashing, 6ft distance, not touching face, they are all stated to SLOW the spread, no talk of stopping it.
We WILL all get it, the sole purpose of the precautions we're taking is so everyone doesn't get it at the same time, to distribute the ill over a longer timeline.
And yes, it IS similar to AIDS. You have non-stop unprotected sex, you will contract disease, but if you take measures to stop the spread through the population through your own actions, such as monogamy, abstinence, and condoms, it will slow or even stop the spread starting with you.
