A Second Shutdown Could Be Worse

As the country begins to re open, many top health officials are beginning to consider what would happen if there was a second wave of shutdowns due to another wave of COVID-19 hospitalizations.

According to Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at George Washington School of Medicine, the country may have to face the fact that we may need to shut down again.

Reports show that a second wave of state shutdowns may have more of an impact than the first.

Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington says:

“Because of quarantine fatigue, because of the economic effects of quarantine, another round of shutdowns might have even larger effects on businesses that may be on the edge of not being able to stay solvent.”
