entire country might be better off letting the virus work its way through the healthy population and quarantine the "at-risk" popluation for a few months

That's what we should have been doing from the start. Bill Whittle talked about this when it was still just heating up.

The doctors talked about that at yesterday's presser. That would lead to many more deaths with this virus. Looking at millions instead of a 100,000 to 200,000 which is still just an estimate worst case scenario.

And keeping the economy shut down until summer, and practicing social distancing until the fall - of next year - will without question lead to total economic ruin.

We're already going to have to rebuild all the progress we made over the last three years. If this goes on for month after month after month, we're going to have to rebuild what had been built up over the last 244 years.

We're far past the point where, even if some miracle made the virus completely disappear off the face of the earth, we can just resume our lives as if nothing happened. Worst case economic scenarios are unfolding.
