Easing the restrictions would undo all the effort we did so far.
Just a few infected people can snowball the whole infection spread again
Yeah, thats damn true! They should look for cure first and supply food at home to people.
The cure is still very far away, so it's not that straightforward.
If cure is far away, then why putting lives at risk?
Because no-one will earn any money to pay for the food and other bills in coming months. Getting money by government is a nice thing, but even that kind of funding cannot last forever. Our local government realized they collected only 1/3 of the taxes in March 2020 compared to March 2019. And they still had to give away billions to shut down businesses/people only in March.
The U.S. really needs to follow the steps Germany has taken with respect to efficient, wide-spread testing and tracing. Bravo to Germany, I say! Well done.
Was it really necessary to ease the restrictions? Maybe being a member of G20 Germany could have done something better. Whats your opinion?
