We're re-opening because we have to. We cannot realistically stay closed until a cure comes out. Very optimistically, that's not going to happen until the end of the year, at best. We have two choices:
1. Reopen the economy now, prevent further economic damage, but lose a lot of lives to coronavirus.
2. Reopen the economy later, and lose the exact same number of lives, but with a bunch of economic damage to go along with it.
The choice is easy, but nobody wants to be seen making it, because all of the options result in large numbers of deaths.
