Time for a retreat back to Phase 0 = shutdown?

Nah. The point of the shutdown was to keep hospitals from getting overwhelmed wasn’t it? Keep an eye on that trend perhaps, and deaths as they aren’t affected by testing. Also ocally things seem very under control still.

Hospital load is only one part of it.We are also concerned with health, deaths, and being able to fully get past the pandemic so that we can get back to normal. Premature opening may prolong problems and prevent important businesses from recovering like air travel, transportation, sports, etc. If schools can't operate in the Fall then parents won't be able to go to work and university towns will die.

All very reasonable. There is also the real possibility that we have to figure out how to live with this thing. Prematurely shutting back down carries its own risks. Shutting down, even if needed, also carries risks as we see with the civil unrest and a host of other ailments.
Civil unrest? People with military weapons in the state capitol? Lack of income is bad but so is the real possibility of dying after a trip to the grocery. Look at other countries who shut down completely and now they are in a good place.

To questions 1 and 2 -Yes! And yes! If you are dying after a trip to the grocery, then you are doing it wrongly. Like where the doors were welded shut on families? Hyperbole and panic always help, try more of each.
People are dying. Not hyperbole. I'm not concerned about my own death it will come and I am OK with that. What I see on our streets is the opposite of panic.

They are indeed. That was not the hyperbole to which I was referring. How very Samurai of you. Like the hyperbole, the panic I was referring to was yours. All due respect
