I know the people on here don't want to hear this, but you aren't going to eradicate this virus without destroying society, and even then it might not be eradicated. Here's what a group of health experts said in Canada yesterday:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/covid19-reopening-balanced-1.5642689

Some public health and infectious disease experts are pressing for governments in Canada to shift to minimizing, not eradicating, COVID-19 while allowing society to resume functioning.

The open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and all premiers, dated July 6, says aiming to prevent or contain every case is not sustainable at this stage in the pandemic.

"We need to accept that COVID-19 will be with us for some time and to find ways to deal with it," the 18 experts wrote.

Signatories include Dr. Gregory Taylor, Dr. Theresa Tam's immediate predecessor as Canada's chief public health officer; Dr. David Butler-Jones, the first person to hold the post; Dr. Robert Bell, a former deputy health minister in Ontario; Dr. Onye Nnorom, president of the Black Physicians' Association of Ontario; Dr. Vivek Goel, former president of Public Health Ontario; and Dr. Joel Kettner, a former chief public health officer for Manitoba.

It's time to bolt people in their homes. The military can provide daily rations. Going out in public is basically a death sentence right now.

Well there's that

But more to the point, businesses that can function at upwards of 90% efficiency remotely are reopening just because people are sick of telecommuting or something I guess. Like the one I work for, for example.

3 million cases and 130k deaths hardly translates to a death sentence. Many more people are recovering versus dying, and the ones dying were mostly in the at risk category to begin with. The virus isnt doing anything unexpected.

I think Aleph was being sarcastic.

And in fairness, I didn't provide enough context in the OP.

If we open up more, more people are going to get it, and the hospitals are going to get overrun. At that point anyone will die, even if they don't have covid19, as there wont be empty hospital beds.

I don't see a problem with working virtually if you can. I do see a problem with full grown adults loitering in parks, sleeping under trees and doing nothing for hours in the middle of the day on weekdays which I just saw a couple of days ago when I went to the park to play tennis (I'm working from home too). We need to get people back to work and off government benefits.

"We need to get people back to work and off government benefits."

Exactly and this goes back to the whole democratic society debate. Most people in general are lazy. Spreading the wealth won't help. A hard working person deserves to buy whatever they want with their money they earned. I'm saving up and doing stuff with my money to better myself and get rewarded and yet some butthurt person will be like yo give me some of that! There are people who worked 2 or 3 jobs to get where they are now and it's a shame others get envy/jealous of them.
