It's not the contact tracing that takes the time, it's the lack of testing.
Then pretend I posted your last post and go explain why it's wrong.
I'm not sure what you're arguing for now. But I was responding to what was actually in the article you posted.
You said this before, and I asked you to explain how you get the bigger death rates from the economic depression, which we are going to have anyway if governments open up too soon and a lot of people die.
I've already said that, so sure. I am reasonably optimistic that my state will manage the testing and contact tracing before other states, and it would be easier to police our borders than yours.
Whatever, dude. If that's true, not sure why you posted that article.

Your response to my #5 point is the only thing of relevance in this reply. I’ve run that cost/benefit in my head a lot.
On your last point, even in my state, one of the most aggressively locked down in the nation, we are starting to open on May 1. You can look it up if you like.
I’m eating my cooking. I’ve worked with businesses to aggressively lobby against your position. And I’ll be there in the face of it when it starts.
I’m sympathetic to your concerns. I’m not doing anything reckless. But you’re in fucking fantasyland.
Oh, and I posted the article to support a position alternative to yours. If I hadn’t, you’d assert it was baseless. And the article did not argue “fuck it, let it go” position. Arguing for reopening is not arguing for recklessness. That’s your straw man.
