That's exactly the problem. We have flattened the curve but it is not going down. If you open before it starts going down, you are playing with fire.
You can't shut down forever, but the curve is not going downhill. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. You open this thing back up and it spikes, you are going to do far, far more damage to the economy that what's happening right now. There's going to be no safety net to save the million of people who go under.
