I do think it’s more area/population dependant than one size fits all.
There’s been two cases in my entire county and while things are different, it hasn’t affected my life to much of a degree. But I can’t compare my situation to someone in a hot spot.
And if there weren’t lockdowns and serious precautions taken... what would it look like?
Take the slaughterhouses. Even if the mortality rate ends up being .03% (big stretch there I think), the morbidity is still going to be phenomenal. So remove lockdown and potentially within less than a week businesses could lose almost their entire workforce anyway when they all get sick. The defence against that would be what... they would only be shut for two weeks while everyone recuperates and then can come back to work? Isn’t there data coming out now that immunity doesn’t seem to be lasting long... what’s the news on that?
Could be hugely damaging to a business’ name if they’re known as a company that shut down because their entire staff was ill. Even if it’s not a food borne illness. Plus you’re getting people who are afraid to go to work.
No easy fix in my mind. Lose business from lockdown protocol or lose business from being infected. Unless somebody is a new age Nostradamus all of a sudden nobody will know what the best approach really is. It’s all theory.
