You have a few false premises there.
1) there is no evidence that masks -I mean the kind commonly worn- that those
SLOW the spread. They may in fact increase the spread as people feel that they have placed sufficient protection on their face to get much closer to others who may be shedding.
2) The
demand on the medical system is at a modern time low. Hospitals always strive to be near capacity - just as the owner of an apartment building would. YET people have been avoiding hospitals because of these stories of "at capacity" warnings. ("it's ok, my cancer screening can wait.")
3) "
the best method to get the economy back open" That's a big one. A snuck (false) premise, that the decision to keep Walmart open and bars closed can only be changed IF we have a vaccine. This whopper of a lie infers that people have no immunity on their own. And that
"Sweden did it wrong". Clearly they did not.
