Of course, he is just doing very rough estimates, but I think this video makes it very clear just why so many scientists, including doctors and epidemiologists, are pushing quarantines and lockdowns. I wish that someone would show this video or something like it to Donald Trump so that he would understand how ridiculous his goal of getting people back to work by Easter is nuts.

He shows empathy and lack of remorse for people suffering.
However, his advisers should know that if there are 5k death Americans/day, the markets will guarentee to tank. No one will show up to work except the front lines ppl and his poll numbers will slide to rock bottom. No other country would want to do business with the US.

If the rate is 1000 ppl dead/day on Monday markets will fall again.
