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.

Not necessarily, in that we've seen that there can be some really bad results and some real bad shit can still happen if it's a huge number all at once.
My hope is that we've got a shitload more people that have or do have it and we'll burn thru it faster than we thought.
