What we need is a sweet spot that doesn't exist.
I haven't read it, but does it reflect the economic impact of a major increase in cases and deaths?
I doubt anybody wants to get near the numbers regarding the economic impact of large numbers of old folk dying quickly.

Yes, it breaks down the lockdown into five different classes (#1 is full open and #5 is full close). You can pick an individual state, and change the lockdown class and show what the change in death versus change in economic impact will be.
Obviously, this is not perfect, but this is the first I have see that looks at it this way.

The lasting images will be the bread lines and food riots. We haven't even scratched the surface on the economic impact. cnn will dedicate itself to blowing this out of proportion before the election.
Is there an image of the people with the disease? Maybe the flattened curve.

We are taking an essential trip to Madison today to visit Spruce Tree Music. I am dropping off my first ever guitar to have it assessed for repair. It experienced some pretty dramatic trauma during my college days and I never had it properly repaired. It has just gotten worse over the years and it has a lot of sentimental value that far exceeds its market value.
We have a 1:30 drop off appointment. We knock on the door, and they will come outside to meet us. Everyone will be wearing masks, have hand sanitizer, etc.
I might even evaluate a new guitar while I am there.
It will be the first time we have been out of town in a long time. It will be good to have some extended time out of the house.
Hey! Music is essential! dammit. We will be providing a much needed economical impact. Especially if I get that new guitar! lol

You can never have too many guitars. I've got 3 acoustic guitars and would love to get an electric but can't find one that "speaks" to me.
Sat in a guitar store one day and must have played 50 of them. Couldn't find one that I HAD to have.
We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on. -

Electric guitars are like two bit hookers. Any of them will get the job done, but you don't want to take any of them home.
I laugh at all the people who think the type of wood that a solid body electric guitar is made from, matters one bit to the tone it generates. It's all about comfort and the electronics. I have done similar. Played electrics from super cheap to super expensive. None of them speak to me either.
No, the guitar that is the current cause of my GAS, is this one...
