1 case takes down an entire medium-sized restaurant.

i dont think it's a fair way to assess the situation and the real case count is probably 3-10 times higher based on several Ab studies
the alternative was (simplified): jobs lost 1M; cases 20M; deaths 1M as we would greatly exceed healthcare capacity and face much higher mortality rates and then of course job loss would spiral out of control too..
i am all for incremental reopening as we brought this (mostly) under control but we must realize that control we have now is a result of actions taken in march and april...
