I don't really expect this to happen, but who knows?
To be clear, I don't think that this idea is insane because I know that May 1 will be too early. I think it probably would be, but I don't know. I think it is insane because the administration doesn't know either, but some in the administration want to barrel ahead without knowing, anyway.
In 1918, cities that jumped ahead in easing restrictions too early had terrible results as the virus rebounded strongly, and were worse off economically speaking than those that did not, so the additional loss of life was for nothing.
Getting itchy is not a good reason to do anything during this crisis.
Hopefully, this will be a medical decision and not a political one, and will be done -- hopefully gradually, perhaps in phases -- when it is medically appropriate to do it. I really hope so.
Bob.

Edit: although it started slowly and late, at some point science did begin to prevail over politics in the government's response (without talking about any of the issues that have arisen), and I believe that is why things have not been way, way worse. So I hope it will work out that way again.
You've got to hope for something....

"Someone infected by the coronavirus, can cough and walk away, but then leave behind extremely small aerosol particles carrying the coronavirus. These particles could then end up in the respiratory tract of others in the vicinity", Aalto University Assistant Professor Ville Vuorinen said.
They said the study proves the importance of washing hands and wearing face masks in public places because the virus can linger in the air attached to fine droplet particles.
(Gosh wow only 3 months late!! How many have died because you couldn't use your brain? How many front-line workers have died because of the unnecessary infections because masks weren't recommended from day one?)
The length of time it lasts on the surface depends on factors such as temperature and the type of surface, for example at around 37C (98F), it can survive for two to three days on glass, fabric, metal, plastic or paper.
Their work was based on a local outbreak case on January 22 during the peak Lunar New Year travel season. A passenger, known as “A”, boarded a fully booked long-distance coach and settled down on the second row from the back.
The passenger already felt sick at that point but it was before China had declared the coronavirus outbreak a national crisis, so “A” did not wear a mask, nor did most of the other passengers or the driver on the 48-seat bus. -SCMP
Hu said the patient, who was not wearing a mask, was likely to have inhaled aerosols, or tiny particles, breathed out by the infected passengers from the previous group.
Aerosols are light-weighted particles that are formed from tiny droplets of bodily fluids
I wonder if they will ever get around to
1. Everyone wear a mask
2. put air sterilzing machines in the workplaces
get people back to work
3. stop ideas about hi-tech tracking.
this is getting really dangerous - how they are using their Plan-demic to push total population control, movement control, cash control. We NEED to get back to the constitution.
People died in the revolutionary War of Independence to found the USA. It is supposed to have the right to bear arms - sufficient to overthrow a despot totalitarian govt., free speech, assembly, freedom of religion,
So could have been a severe flu (bio-engineered yes so not regular), but with
1. Everyone wearing a mask/face covering - right at the start
2. put air sterilzing machines in the workplaces
It did not need to be as stupid and foolish as this has become - with media govt fuel mass terror.
Breaking the supply chains is very serious.
13million govt mandated out of work and soon to be homeless is bad shit.
This whole thing reeks of govt/deep-state worldwide control endgame.
does someone know if this (A & B)is true ?

she went down on her bicycle and filmed Bellevue and Beth Israel, nobody there, emergency rooms empty, nobody is standing in line, nothing going on, the only thing dying at these hospitals was the cash flow.

we've had a Plan-demenic every other year 2004, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018 and now 2020 its a remarkable co-incidence.
well Covid-19 wont go anywere it is impossible to kill of so We need to protect the elderly and do some exercise and loose some weight my self included.
He seems to be saying that the COVID stats are being faked by using ordinary seasonal flu death numbers. Sort of explaining the existence of the virus away.
I definitely don't want to get into those weeds. Something is killing people all over the world. This pretty much settles the question.
Just saying....

There still needs to be a controlled trial, which will be getting under way, apparently soon:
The full article is worth reading.
It is not a known cure, and may never be. But this is how things are found out. There are a number of controlled trials, planned or actual, for a number of potential medications. Something will probably pan out.
