The approach to shutting everything down should definitely have been handled different. Most places aren't New York, which accounts for 23780 of the 63861 (37%) deaths. They most certainly should have SIP orders for NY.
Missouri, OTOH, was one of the last states to do the SIP orders, so you would expect to have a high amount of cases and deaths. Thankfully, that is not at all what is happening. Missouri as of yesterday had reported a total of 343 deaths or 0.5% of the total of all deaths in the US and there are dozens of states just like this. Shutting down all these states is completely pointless. We are not all crammed together like NYC. I think once things open back up we may see a slight increase in cases/deaths, but it won't be significant.
