Yes 1.4 million people partying in one city was such a great idea.
Further they came from all over the country and world and then spread it back out.
The Governor was likely concerned loss of revenue and now seeking to be declared a Federal disaster area for the Federal government to bail his State out for their great idea.
Elections have consequences.
If you elect an idiot for a governor this is exactly what you get.
BTW this particular idiot is a Democrat.
Same deal with spring breakers in Florida.
The Governors of both states gave their best impersonation of the Mayor of Amity Island, in Jaws.
We need to hide as long as it takes for hospitals to get their ICUs ramped up and to get all the backordered medical protection equipment in place. Once they are comfortably there, then you start easing people out.
I'm sure we don't put medical people in the position of choosing to save a 25 year old vaper over your 85 grandmother.
Not remotely possible for hospitals to get their ICUs ramped up for this.
The world functions with a “just in time” model. There is a cost / no profit in surplus capacity, especially for a once every 100 year event.
Hospitals, like hotels, like most commodities, strive to operate at near full capacity.

Yup bonnie Prince Charles is helping to prove that rich people are very likely to get this virus because they travel so much and are are exposed to lots of people that also travel.

& Rand Paul is single-handedly proving Ronald Reagan's "nine most terrifying words in the English language ...".
And whatever number of people that have recovered are only because they remained at home and away from groups of people. Let’s not kid ourselves if we start going back to work, too soon it’s highly possible it might start up all over again.
I agree that the economy will bounce right back once the lock downs are over.
The reason it will do this is because the US lowered its non-competitive tax rates on business and eliminated all sorts of unnecessary regulations that make it hard to do business in the US.
I supported the tax cuts and regulations being eliminated but what you are saying is not accurate.
We are a consumer driving economy. People have to buy stuff for the economy to bounce right back. When people are unsure about the future they hold on to their money. The lower tax rates will help businesses to ride out the lock down a little better. But we are talking a 3% tax cut compared to perhaps a 30% drop in business or in some cases 100% drop.

The government in Ireland said it would take control of all privately-owned health care facilities and hospitals to create a single, free national health service to deal with the coronavirus outbreak until the crisis in the country had passed.
“There can be no room for public versus private when it comes to pandemic,” Simon Harris, the Irish health minister, said in a news conference in Dublin on Tuesday. He added that the step was necessary “for the common benefit of all of our people.”
