COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

So, the question is, how confident are you in your tradeoff scenarios? Every level of opening comes with added risk of disease spread and death, and economic damage from that, and you weigh that against the benefits of increased economic activity, quality of life etc. Do you feel confident that you know what those tradeoffs are and are comfortable with them?

For example, let's say opening up the economy with no restrictions would lead to 1.2 million dead, 12 million hospitalized with long term health issues..... for that price you get a reduction of unemployment from 14% to 10%, and an increase in GDP from -7% to -4%. I assume that's a trade-off scenario you might not be comfortable with (note, I'm not saying that's what the tradeoff is, I'm just using it for illustrative example as a way to frame the issue).

the response to this question needs to be pulled from a lot of different demographics.

There are a lot of people that would answer this differently and don't have the position nor the volume in their voice and feel like a lot of people are advocating for things that will impact people who are already marginalized. This needs to be as participatorily democratic as it can be
