At least 0.16% of NYC is dead from COVID-19, and that number will rise as both the disease continues and we go back and discover cases we missed. If those numbers hold nationwide, you’re talking about half a million people dying or more.

I personally wouldn’t want to argue for putting half a million in an early grave for the sake of opening up.
