It was reasonable to ask Americans to take steps voluntarily to “flatten the curve” to ensure our hospitals and medical infrastructure are prepared. We’ve done that.
But two weeks has turned into months and the goalposts keep moving. If we stick to the current government mandate approach, there will be far too much damage to public health and human flourishing.
In simple and immediately observable terms, the results have been catastrophic:
More than 30 million jobs have been destroyed.
Healthcare workers have been furloughed while preventive care, cancer screenings, blood tests, and elective procedures have been halted.

More than $6 trillion in federal borrowing has been allocated as economic and societal assistance for businesses, hospitals, local governments, and the people.
