First off I am not a healthcare professional and this is just my layman’s opinion, we have a highly contagious virus and with any virus there seems to be 2 options for ending it – complete quarantine or let nature run its course as we have been doing going back to 1918 – its now been proven that Neil Ferguson’s models have been completely wrong. We sheltered in place to flatten the curve and as far as I know no hospital in the US has been overwhelmed with cases. As to an increase in cases – well yeah because we’re doing more testing so therefore more cases, and nowhere have I found that the hospital admission rate has increased??? And with more testing the mortality rate is decreasing as a percentage of cases – yes 100,00 deaths is a sad thing and high risk people should/have to be more careful but if we don’t let it run its course then by next fall we’ll probably really get smacked.
