I like his quote about you arent stopping deaths just changing the dates. You can nitpick that a bit but in general he is correct given most places arent even close to over burdening the health care facilities.

I didn't say he was arguing to shut it down. He's arguing for a middle ground that isn't "Liberate" and isn't "hunker down and don't leave the house until we have a vaccine." That's not an especially provocative statement, nor is it an unpopular or lightly-held view. He also said that the Sweden approach was too far toward "just let everyone get it," and they have distancing measures in place currently.
I don't know of any epidemiologists or other health experts that recommend sheltering in place until a vaccine is developed and rolled out. What I have seen plenty of is people arguing to open up to an extent that would effectively wash away the sacrifice and progress of the previous six weeks.
You'd do well to actually listen to the sources that you post instead of just excerpting a single quote, and he didn't say a single thing about overburdening facilities in that interview.
