Why open now?

- “Flatten the curve” means reaching herd immunity at a rate that doesn’t overload hospitals, NOT avoiding spread or waiting for a vaccine

- Outdoor spread is extremely rare. Open parks, beaches

- A suspended economy ruins countless lives and decades of hard work
What does open now mean? Copy Germany, Israel and Sweden.

Everyone uses a points system. Get points for factors leading to risk for yourself and others.

Low score? Get back to life
High score? Stay home and get extra support from gov’t until herd immunity
What I want to understand is what drives the controversy over this plan? Why is this *not* the way forward today?
