These estimates change continuously. According to the National Review, Quote:
As more numbers comes in, and better estimates of non-symptomatic and/or unreported infections are included, the mortality rate will almost certainly drop. As of 4/15/2020 however, according to the CDC, there had been 24,582 deaths out of 605,390 "both confirmed and probable cases" in the U.S. & territories. Doing the math, this results in over 4% of reported cases. There would have to be nearly another 1.9 million additional, unreported cases to bring the mortality rate down below 1%.

I'm not sure what you call "very few", although it's definitely true that mortality rates rise with age. It's also true that the number of U.S. adults having hypertension is rising (currently approximately 45%, according to the CDC). Add in diabetes, asthma, obesity, etc and it gets more difficult to find those "under 65 with no underlying issues". If you want to risk your life and those of your friends and family, that is your decision. Just stay away from me and mine. Maybe wear a sign... |

You may have misunderstood: this was a (semi-snarky) response to the part of sail33or's earlier post that advised that people still worried about COVID-19 "can avoid everyone that has resumed normal life" (also semi-snarky), but definitely not a literal suggestion.

The president is putting together a task force to re-open the economy. That does not mean that they are planning on doing anything soon. I'm sure that when these two panels of experts decided that it is safe to open some things, they will begin opening certain businesses in some areas with restrictions. I assume that places like Morgantown, West Virginia will be able to have some businesses open with restrictions before those same types of businesses will be able to open in New York City. This idea of a rolling opening makes perfect sense in a country as large and diverse as ours. Sweden and Switzerland do not have the same issues that we have. They are very small countries and are very much the same throughout. I believe that both the federal government and our state government, in fact, most state governments have done an excellent job in fighting this pandemic. I believe that they'll make the right decisions on what to open when.

Have you polled your members to see if they would come back, or is it too early for that? If I'm in TV, I'll be there on your reopening day! ///o-o\\\

My concern is that, if you only open states that don't have many coronavirus cases, how do you prevent people from travelling to those states?
