I'd also point out that European nations like Sweden, Denmark, Austria and Germany, many of them hit the same or worse than the United States, are likewise gradually or completely re-opening their businesses and schools.

But somehow it is considered blasphemous and "murdering people" (MSNBC, CNN) to consider the realities of needing to do so at some point in the United States.

At the daily Coronavirus press conference yesterday, Dr. Deborah Birx cited that 33% of counties in the U.S. have not been affected by Covid-19 at all. And another large slice have not had a new Covid-19 case in 7 to 14 days.
The federal government at the same press conference offered a 3-step advisory to states of how to gradually re-open their economies, on the precondition of a lack of new cases, and having the medical preparedness to contain new cases and potentially have a new shelter-at-home if a new outbreak were to occur. As cited in the above linked article, even West-coast Democrat governors, and even New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the hardest-hit state, are all looking toward re-opening their states' economies.
