(11,605 posts)There are way too many cases to make it go away entirely. The purpose of the shutdowns was to flatten the curve, give the health system time to prepare, and avoid having a shortage of ventilators and PPE. Most of those goals have been met, with the exception of PPE. We can't stay shut down until a vaccine comes along in 12-18 months. It's just not sustainable. As it is the food supply is starting to see disruptions, and how many people will die because they've put off other healthcare they need or lost their insurance due to the shutdowns?

(11,605 posts)I don't disagree there was a time we could have stopped it, but that ship sailed a while ago. Now it's about mitigation to avoid overwhelming the healthcare system.
