What about all the countries who are right now proving them wrong?

If somebody told you the sky is green, would you believe them, or would you go have a look at the sky?

Do me a favor and check out the world map at the site below. Select "Daily Cases" on the bottom right and check out how different countries are doing. I suggest starting with Italy. They were leading the world in cases and deaths at one point and had the world's worst regional outbreak. Now look at where they are. They've been holding steady at a couple hundred cases per day for the last 6 weeks and are down to ~15 deaths/day. And their unemployment rate is less than ours too.

There are many other examples around the world where the suppression strategy is working and unemployment is less than here.
