Okay, since Agnostico is annoyed that nobody has been focusing on his actual points (and more about the callous way he put it), here's one point he's made: He's annoyed that the quarantines are still going on even as less than one person per day is dying. He wants to know what death rate is necessary to reopen the economy.
My argument: the current death rate in your particular jurisdiction should not be the only thing you think about. If it's as low as one death per week, and we end social distancing while the disease is still spreading, it's not likely to stay that low for long. Instead, wait until the number of active cases is very low (Total-deaths-recovered=active). And by very low, I don't have an actual percentage, but if the number of active cases is more than half that of the total, it's way too fucking early. And according to the revised version of the stream that was in the OP, Mainland China and South Korea are the ONLY major nations to have reached that point. I understand that it's frustrating to have to wait and I'd love to be able to get out and enjoy life on the outside, but COVID is still going strong with 91.28% of all confirmed cases still active. Australia is a hell of a lot closer to "out of the woods" than America is, but the virus there still has 56.16% of confirmed cases still active, even if its effects are not quite as catastrophic as other nations.
Have I actually addressed at least some of your points?
