Want to open schools? Do a hard lockdown now for 6 weeks to get the virus under control then open schools late September. I haven't heard any other strategy to reopen safely that sounds remotely plausible given rampant spread in many areas. via @WSJ

@neelkashkari @WSJ "get the virus under control" ..if you recall we locked down for several months and yet the virus re-emerged. Perhaps lockdowns don't work? Same belief system that Fed/CB's control inflation. How's that been working out?

@stramsey @WSJ We never did a hard lockdown. In Minnesota, 90% of workers were deemed essential. Other countries locked down much more aggressively and their economies are benefiting from it now. They aren't out of the woods but the case load is low enough to control.

@neelkashkari @WSJ I said it in March (to the dismay of many Republicans I'm associated with)-we need to hard lockdown 6-8 weeks. The virus would likely run its course. As a country, we've not chosen that path. We're left with what we have now. Glad to see someone in a position thinking the same.

@neelkashkari @samori8 @WSJ what happens when you re-open again after 6 weeks and the virus comes back? Close again?? What do we do with the tens of thousands of newly failed businesses and tens of millions unemployed? Print trillions more and reduce their purchasing power while congratulating yourself?

@olepett Create three graphs: • Deaths per capita • Economic output • Population immunized to date Make sure to include all Western European countries. Then you can decide if you prefer the Swedish approach or not.

@neelkashkari @WSJ Because it really worked out for Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Spain. This is an “appeal to purity” fallacy - “if only we did a lockdown in a more pure, more obedient way, it would of worked.”

@neelkashkari @WSJ Sir, I was already unemployed for 4 months, the unemployment I received didn’t cover my bills, I drained savings. Now I’m back at work and earning 1/2 what I used to and unemployment is now 1/2 that. How will my daughter and I eat or where will we live?

@neelkashkari @WSJ Neel wants one more go to take the rest of the economy for his oligarch friends now that the first lockdown worked so well for them. Truly horrific what’s happening across economy due to this thinking. You do hard lockdown it will come back again - this thing is everywhere.
