It is a world wide pandemic. Without mediation efforts, it would have been equivalent to 1918-1919. The economy was going in the toilet regardless of what action we took. Shutdowns at least mediated the initial spread of the virus, and gave us some control over that slide into the toilet.

We have a damned long way to go before we are out of this quagmire. Viable treatment protocols will take much of the pain out of the situation.
