This kind of thinking is a mental disease, and you can clearly see that essentially no country in the world is falling for it.

nationalreview.com/corner/a-covid…
Really big surge of "end the shutdowns, let people die, what matters is GDP" takes coming from the usual suspects in the last couple of days. Insane that as a society we have to waste effort fighting back this bullshit instead of concentrating on stopping the virus.
The "GDP value of a life" people are like the crazy guy in the zombie bunker who starts screaming to open up the bunker so he can go back to his room and play his new video game.

We need 130k tests a day 🐇
@Noahpinion
U.S. coronavirus testing actually fell slightly today. This is disappointing.

Hopefully it's just lumpy reporting, and it'll surge again tomorrow. But our growth rate seems to be slowing down, and we're still at only half of Korean levels.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
NY slowed from 17k/day to 13k/day. Could be a sign of new restrictions on testing.

CA reported only 1k compared to >13k the day before. That's probably lumpy reporting rather than a real drop in testing.
WA is holding roughly steady at around 3k-4k/day.

NJ had a big bump in testing, up to 12k/day from 2k/day. That could be lumpy reporting, or the state starting to report more private-clinic tests.

1/OK, let's talk about how long shutdowns and shelter-in-place orders need to last.

Trump says he wants things open by Easter. That's a pipe dream. In fact, we need to keep things closed AT LEAST two weeks longer than that. Let me explain why.
2/Assume that shutdowns start reducing new infections IMMEDIATELY, the day after they go into effect.

It will still be 4-5 days before the daily INCREASE in the number of people with SYMPTOMS starts to go down, because that's the virus' incubation period.
3/After people develop symptoms, it takes several days for their case to be confirmed. This is because it takes a while to get tested and get the results back.

So under OPTIMAL conditions, it will take maybe 2 weeks to see new daily confirmed cases start to drop.

#COVID-19 has yet to be documented in #Yemen, but Abdel Ilah, who manages the factory that opened three days ago, is getting ready for its arrival. “#Coronavirus is knocking on the whole world’s door,” he said.

#YEMEN
The five-year conflict has killed more than 100,000 and unleashed a humanitarian crisis in which many others have died. Yemen’s shattered healthcare infrastructure and already weakened population suggest the virus could wreak more havoc if takes hold.

#COVID-19: It’s possible to get infected a 2nd time. People recovered by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart, and when they get it the 2nd time, the antibody makes it worse, and they die of sudden heart failure.

I don't find this unexpected. We had similar results in the study of SARS. Challenge with the virus after vaccination actually made the resulting disease worse. One theory is this may be due to an overactive immune response due to a cytokine storm.
What I find really troubling is doctors in China had to report this anonymously to avoid communist censorship. We are not getting the whole story here. Keep in mind we don't yet know how many cases this involves and we'll have to wait for more case studies in other countries.
