I am of the mind shut stuff down as much as possible and ride it out. It will decimate the economy but if all nations actually worked together you could mitigate that. Do stuff like uniformly tax the wealthy around the world and pause things as much as you can with the assumption it goes back to some kind of new normal after.

Since that is a pipe dream, we need to open stuff as safely and smartly as possible, but the problem is most people are insanely stupid of just oblivious.

If we just ignore it like Sweden, we are gonna overwhelm the system and inflate the death rate way more.

I guess really I would just like to see tons of quick accurate testing and tracing while we live this til there is a vaccine or herd immunity. Better treatment options too.

I also speak from a point of great privilege here as I did not lose my job, had 7 weeks off at 100% pay and now am working alone in a school. While my wife was/is able to collect the CERB for $2000 a month since she can't work and needs to watch our kid. So we have faced no financial hardship at all. It's easy for me to say yeah lets just ride this out, because I have been able to. If I were a small business owner I am sure my opinion would be radically different.
