Now, if this virus is more widespread than we know (don't know about where you are, but Canada only tests those needing hospitalization and the results can take a week or more), that could conceivably change things before a lot of bad things happen economically. If it turned out many more have had it and it's far less deadly and we've avoided the hospital crush and we've learned some effective treatments.......
The models are highly subject to "garbage in garbage out", but if economically we're talking another Great Depression here, the deaths of people due to extreme poverty, suicide, violence etc are scary to think
about. I'd like to see the "curves" on that talked about more, I think it might sharpen up the strategies. Hiding in our homes can't happen forever, need a way forward. Watched a baseball game from Taiwan last night, 0 new cases, only 398 cases (about half recovered) and 6 deaths. Population is 24 million, they've tested 52,000. Large gatherings still postponed, but stores, restaurants, life.....still open. Mass testing, mask wearing, and still going to work.
