First of all there’s no federal mandate for businesses to shut down. The reason why a lot of Nonessential businesses have shut down is because of guidelines set forward by local state governments. All this consternation over what Trump will or will not do is unfounded. What dr. Fauci and dr. Birx say is what matters.
Its not the idea that he can override the governors thank goodness, its just the idea that you would try to open up business by Easter when the virus hasnt even hit its peak yet.. Drumpf is an incompetent fuckup and will likely get more Drumpftards killed.
If you study the numbers the "peak" is forming now in the US and the EU. That's why Pence has his 15-day shelter-in-place model. Today, 3/26 is day-11, by Monday 3/30 (hopefully) the peak will have formed and we will be heading downward. Easter is 4/12, so we should be well down the bell curve by Easter. Understood that the infections could start back up again, but with warmer weather and hopefully some effective medications let's hope we can start some people in safer regions, as approved by governors, going back to work with safety restrictions.
The alternative of continuing the shutdown may really cripple the economy, which helps no one.
Where did you get the data that the peak is forming now? I would like to see it. From what the experts are saying we have another 2-3 weeks before we peak. If we get a second wave you can kiss the economy good bye and welcome the next great depression.

Just found this video of what the virus does to your lungs. The yellow parts are where the virus is causing inflammation. Even if you survive this youre going to be seriously damaged.
Your article supports the contention that the peak of "infections" is forming now. The "deaths" follow the infections generally by 2-3 weeks. My graph is for "active cases" or total cases - recovered and -deaths. We'll see next week, but the 3-week prediction for deaths is around Easter and the infections should be lessening significantly by then.
From the CNN article, the 1st sentence:
"A leading epidemiologist advising the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has estimated the
peak of deaths in the US
coronavirus pandemic will be three weeks from now, after which "most of the damage will be done," and says it may be possible to only
isolate the vulnerable, allowing many back to work. "
