No one's going to be fully open if the hospitals are full and people are dying in the carpark. No one has seen yet what it will mean to run out of hospital capacity but I'd bet it won't look pretty to a bunch of middle class Americans. And if or when it happens what the governor says won't matter. People's natural instincts to protect themselves and their families will dictate what is open and what is closed.
We need our government and community leaders to start making plans on keeping as much of the economy open whilst protecting the most vulnerable. We need a plan that is as much economic as well as health centric and we need to take control out of the hands of health officials and have a more balanced approach.
