On the contrary, I know it will get worse regardless of what we do. The question is does it get more worse with a long drawn out lock-down or a short and stern one?

EDIT: a word

I'll support lockdowns when the governments (local, state, federal) provide an economic relief package to go with it for all the businesses that will suffer absurd losses.

It's real easy to shut down businesses and livelihoods when politicians are not responsible for the economic fallout.
