What exactly do people think will happen after the country is shut down for a month and the initial outbreak is controlled? We won't just say "well done" and resume our former lives (or in this case, restructure society). We will be stuck in a really difficult position.https://twitter.com/peterdaou/status/1242429682089365504 …

Why couldn’t we resume our normal lives? Money is an abstraction. Treasury sent ARRA checks in 2009, and the Fed effectively printed money with QE. Why couldn’t we learn from our mistakes and do the same, but better. Oh Wall Street! Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

We couldn't resume our normal lives because the virus would start to spread again in the same uncontrolled way.

You’re suggesting that we won’t have enough testing in swabs to isolate cases in a month or two? When every biotech company I know is feverishly working on this?

Here I'll defer to people with expertise as to whether widespread testing and case isolation is enough for life to go back to normal
