There is a very difficult line to toe here. If you make a premature decision, you put people's lives at risk. If you wait too long to open the economy, you put more people out of work. There are ways to alleviate the latter though. The former is not as easy.
You can pass legislation to help people through trying times. You can't bring people back to life.
