    Yessiree, great news. 120K dead, the economy starting to shut down again because the virus is running wild. Contrast this with Australia that has the virus under control:

    Unemployment is already under 10% in Australia.

    Yes, and because we opened too soon, we're going to start shutting down again.

    I think locking down 400,000 people over 18 cases is just a huge over reaction. I question would they have done that for 12 cases? 8 cases? Etc...

    The "good economic news" is Trump hype. We have ballooning new case numbers, consumers pulling back, and now state and local governments are again closing businesses likely to spread COVID-19.

    Want to stay open? Stop minimizing the pandemic and wear a mask.

    As we have learned from painful experience, viruses grow exponentially. Within a couple weeks, 18 cases becomes 1,000 cases, and 1,000 cases become 10,000 cases. Its better to beat the virus early. Obviously, we are never going to have zero cases and can't lock down forever, but the number we choose should be on the smaller side.

    Exactly. We could have been like British Columbia (5m people) that never issued a stay-at-home order.
