It is my belief that we can roll out waves of folks returning to the workforce with the less vulnerable leading the way. Also if we are going along with pandoras box of local governments limiting our freedoms, how do we eventually close it?
As Ghost said above, and I'll follow up on, there are not enough tests available to tell whether or not any of us have had it (sans the folks who have met the criteria and actually received a test). Around the beginning of January, for about 24 hours, starting Sunday morning I had a case of the body aches/shivers/fatigue, similar to what some may say are flu-like symptoms. Now whether or not that was Coronavirus is up for debate, all I know is that for about two weeks, I combated a steady dry cough and running nose. So I may or may not have contracted it.
This is likely turning into a seasonal thing that we are just gonna have to combat. While a vaccine is being developed, how do we build herd immunity when the majority of folks are quarantined?

The other part of the equation to what you were feeling is that it was/is during the flu season to begin with. And you are right - there was or there currently isn't enough tests to confirm what people have etc.

I agree with you, I don't know how much more our economy can take. I do think if you are a governor of a state - you want to get people back to work ASAP - not a control issue but more of a 'getting people back to work gets the economy going thus helps you during election time'. Bc as much as the candidate will tout I was dealing with a pandemic - no will give 2 F**ks about the pandemic if they were unemployed or if their business shut down.

My fear is - we open up and we bring people in and we try to go back to normal; but if we see a spike in cases and people getting sick - do we go back to quarantining - i think once we look to 'open' things up; no way we do a 2nd round of quarantine bc sh!t will get crazy for sure.
