I see transportation inter state pretty critical and shouldn't be completely shut down, but again others may have other opinions that when 50% of the people could get it with .8% to 20% death rate, how can moving around be a critical need. Hard to see UA/DL/AA/SW and others can afford to run even 30% capacity and make enough money to cover their operation cost.
The economic costs are escalating and at some point the discussion about human cost versus the cost of not allowing humans to go about their natural business beyond of living and making a living. Not a recommendation that we should suspend "shelter at home" more wished we had executed a China like lockdown much earlier and then lifted earlier, as we are running more like a Italy situation then a So Korea, sadly we didn't listen to our own Crimson Contagion simulations and act when we could have more containment versus mitigation.
