That was the Drs conclusion, not mine. I dictated my response while driving so it may not have read the best. Makes sense to me. If deaths and hospital usage are declining, I'd say we are heading in the right direction regardless of the number of cases. It does make sense cases will increase as states reopen. As long as the healthcare system can handle it, I agree we need to reopen as fast as possible and let individuals and businesses be creative in how they protect themselves and their employees. Can't say I disagree with any of that.
I stated earlier, Dr Mike Rozien, Oprahs Dr and the Director of the Cleveland Clinic, thinks it's quite possible that lives lost due to economic reasons and the lack of routine healthcare will surpass the lives lost from the virus itself. This virus will be affecting us for years- whether or not it weakens, comes back stronger, or whatever else might happen.
