CMV: We should abolish social distancing at the end of April

I am not an epidemiologist, so take this for what it's worth. It seems like the most well-known strategy to deal with COVID-19 is social distancing. This has already lead to massive job loss, small businesses going under, and the stock market crashing. <br><br>Most of the people I've spoken to agree that these measures are necessary. We've just got to shut down everything for 2 months, and when everyone's immune systems are more capable to combat COVID-19, we can go back to business as usual. But is that going to happen? Will people simply go back to their old jobs when it's all over? I don't think so. <br><br>Dealing with the economic consequences of this will far outlast the duration of this pandemic. In fact, the social distancing itself may well become a much longer pandemic, a silent killer. <br><br>The economic crash of 2007 famously caused a massive spike in suicides. Imagine what this will do to the global economy. <br><br>Isn't it worth considering opening everything back up at the end of April?
