The Imperial College Model even stated that a 3-5 month shutdown would only flatten the curve, but a second outbreak would be much harsher due to less herd immunity being developed. Their submission strategy was for 12-18 months of this our until a vaccine. Do you think that's plausible? No job is safe. I have a good job and can work from home, but if we go on another 3-4 months with no travel and still far from normal, you can at least double the 33 million out of work, and the government gravy train will be broke.

You know, it would be really annoying if there were strategies employed by numerous other countries that have stopped the disease in its tracks, especially if those strategies had been promoted by public health experts and on this thread for weeks, and that countries that had employed said strategies were actually able to open up after the period of initial lock down.
Oh wait...
