There is a lot of people and "experts" trying to have it both ways. On one hand they base a lot of these models and their statements on the data at hand to paint a very dire scenario. Then on the other they say, well we really have no idea how many people REALLY have it and don't have symptoms or are so mild they work through it, etc.
So the logical conclusion is they are both right and wrong. We have to assume that the people serious enough to get their ass to a hospital are legit if they tested positive. But then we also have to assume that there are literally millions of people who have bee exposed and are either not that serious or immune or asymptomatic or whatever term fits your fancy.
So if that is the case then you have to ask yourself are we going too far? My only argument for what is happening right now is to keep hospitals from being overrun and giving time to find suitable treatments.
But this fear or a re-spike in the fall, which we will get and which does admit to a degree that warmer weather will at least temper this a bit, I don't think is enough to justify keeping people locked up for the duration.
We are starting to suffer paralysis by analysis to a degree.
