No one can prove what "would" have happened.
However, we CAN prove in hard numbers (some of) the damage caused by shutting down the economy. A slow rollout to return people to work, using precautionary measures, is justified by the *evidence* of harm to our nation via shutdown. https://twitter.com/DineshDSouza/status/1248212729552351235

Meanwhile, CURES are the real answer, and that's happening.

(I should say won't lose "most of"... it's probably unavoidable not to lose some ground when people start resuming normal activities)
