Coronavirus deaths are increasing

[TitoFan]

We’re way of peaking.

And there’ll be a second strain of this thing to follow that’s maybe worse.

Lockdown till September minimum.

No way will there be any commercial air travel till at least next spring.

Life as we know it is over.

If we can’t get shit going by May many economists are talking about a depression hitting us.

No chance May. No chance

The US is a big country. There are things we can do. Does it makes since to treat the entire country like NY or other hot spots. We have many areas with very low to no cases. Can we start opening up businesses in these areas. Why treat the upper peninsula of Minnesota the same as NYC. I don’t foresee a complete reopening by May either but something gotta happen. People are going to, and are getting nailed financially. If we can safely start opening some areas in a month perhaps we should. At least get some people back to normalcy.

This would take an enormous amount of coordination, logistics, and leadership. Not just talking about Trump here, but is the country capable of pulling off something like this? I understand about the extremely rural parts of the country, including farm land and sparsely populated regions. What's needed for NYC, Chicago, LA, New Orleans, and others isn't necessarily what is needed in Montana, Wyoming, etc. But it would have to be done carefully and with the utmost precision, lest that second wave mentioned by @Master becomes a reality. The country can't afford a restart of the crisis.
