Countries with stricter lockdowns have fewer deaths than countries with more lenient ones. Oh hey that means that choice had life and death consequences! That was hard.

Most aren't, no. That doesn't mean a whole lot of people aren't going to die if restrictions are lifted this soon. Hundreds of thousands of people may not be a majority, but dismissing it because it's a minority doesn't change that it's still hundreds of thousands of people.

And how do you propose making sure that everyone has the information they need to know who to stay away from? This thing can be transmitted asymptomatically for two weeks. You can't avoid that without avoiding everyone. There's also no shortage of young and/or healthy people (as much as I'm sure you'd like to presume they all had undiagnosed underlying conditions, you have no concrete reason to believe that and therefore shouldn't be making that assumption) being killed by it, so nobody can say that they're safe enough to not need to avoid it.

And then there's the point that people who refuse to return to work after their work reopens stand a good chance of being fired for it, so you really can't say that the decision is completely voluntary.

We did lock down. Then people said 'you can't tell me what to do' and did what they wanted. They chose freedom over safety which makes it no fault of Trump's. Try again.

Doesn't have to be hundreds of thousands. That 'what if' can go either way.

I don't think that's true. You will have some symptoms but maybe mistake it for allergies. Really there's no concrete proof for either side, every day they claim something different.

Can't help ya there. Jobs need employees, how long must they wait for you to decide? If someone comes along willing to do the job now then why refuse? There won't be an easy rule for this.
