Ideas on how to reopen the economy w/o returning to exponential spread

You have to be doing this deliberately.

Not really some typos are hard to break the habit, but it does not effect the posts or the context of the thread.

You can't type "ID" instead of "AG?"

We can't take your posts seriously if you can't even spell the name of the disease. So yeah it does effect your posts.

Use spell check COVID. Type COVID and when it gets underlined, right click and say "add to dictionary"

Too vague. You'll have to give some examples. Exactly who on the "right" was "demanding" this? And what were their actual "demands"?

As I recall during the zika outbreak, conservatives were criticizing Obama for not restricting travel, but I don't remember any calls for shutting down the country and arresting people who dared to leave their homes.

Zika was not even close to what we are dealing with wrt COVID-19.

Interesting poll numbers that correlate with the OP, from ZeroHedge...

The bolded is especially interesting. Nope, not everyone is going rush to get the vaccine when it comes out. How they deal with that, I'm not sure. But a bit of an aside. And it's funny how "opening it up" or "not opening it up" has become a partisan thing. "Opening it up" will not magically get us where we were before, which is why my argument earlier in the thread was that Trump might as well leave it closed to make sure no resurgences happen. The damage is already done. "Opening it up' won't help the economy, so it's a lose-lose situation for Trump.
