[QUOTE="Kentonio, post: 74827844, member: 406284"] As long as you have businesses operating (even if retail aren't open) you're likely to continue to worsen the situation. All those people still have to travel and be in contact with each other at work. America simply isn't taking this seriously enough, which is no surprise because we didn;t in Europe either until the death toll rose to hundreds a day and hospitals were overwhelmed. Even now European countries that haven't been hit hard yet continue to exhibit an attitude of 'We don't have to [I]totally[/I] shut down, we can manage' that lasts right up until its too late and things turn to chaos. To be honest I think the most likely outcome by far will be the US seeing the same situation as Italy/Spain but on a much larger scale, and then reacting very hard. All this stuff about re-opening the economy will disappear in a week or so when the death toll rises frighteningly. No politician is going to be going on TV talking about sending people back to work when the hospitals are having to let people die due to a lack of ventilators. [/QUOTE]
