Unfortunately they don't link to the original study, but it supports the fact that those opposing all reopening are just rooting for more deaths.
We're screwed either way then, because without the shutdown we'd have 10 times more covid deaths.
We got screwed because Trump (and Cuomo too) delayed the shutdown too long. Now the shutdown has to go on much longer than it otherwise would have.
Questionable logic as the more you open up, the more deaths before there is finally a response, thus the longer the shutdown has to be, the more deaths of despair there will be.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
