gollark: I think some sort of actual long-term reopening plan is needed.
gollark: They do have to unlockdown at some point and probably quite soon. The question isn't really how many people could have died without lockdown in place, it's how many could have died who wouldn't have later anyway.

gollark: I don't think we even have some sort of contact tracing app available yet.
