It is manifest that retailers in many parts of the world, owners of airlines, restaurants, bars, shops, are pressing governments to open up the economy even though it will cause disease, death and disability.

1/
They are short sighted in their advocacy, after all we see the benefits of strong action in Taiwan, New Zealand, Australia in stopping the outbreak and opening normally.

2/
The economic recovery depends on eliminating the virus. Opening partway then closing, opening and closing will bankrupt business. Business owners are misled in thinking opening with the virus will benefit them. Entire branches of the economy are being destroyed.

"Epidemiologists have repeatedly pointed to New Zealand, Australia and other parts of Asia that have brought the number of daily new cases to under 10 as an example of how to contain the virus."

US reported 111,433 cases yesterday, with 13 states reporting new highs. Total confirmed cases surpassed 10M. It only took 10 days for the latest million, much faster than any previous marks. Image
Mexico’s cases have been level for some time, but due to low testing (confirmed by very high positivity rates), the general severity in confirmed cases didn't alleviate as many other countries, resulting in one of the highest case fatality rates worldwide. Image
While Europe is still suffering from the recent wave, the first two European countries to re-enter national lockdown have reported significant declines. Ireland drops to about 1/3 of their peak three weeks ago. Czechia, which entered national lockdown on Oct.22, drops rapidly. ImageImage
