Apparently the experts believe that's the case. Either that, or they didn't think things through when they decided to shut down the entire fucking planet.

A much more pressing question than this is: How the fuck is Zenking going to make a living now that the casinos and everything else is shut down ?

Are these like Dr. Drew experts, or experts whose expertise is relevant to the matter under discussion?
These would be the group of people (epidemiologists, security experts, psychologists) who advised the governor (Newsom) to order a state-level lockdown of California. I'm asking if this group did calculations on the projected # of non-Covid-19 deaths as a result of the lockdown and compared it to the projected # of covid-19 deaths if the state lockdown had not taken place. I would think that the governor would want to minimize overall deaths as opposed to minimizing only covid-19 deaths.
You realize that in the middle of a corona outbreak if you have a heart attack you're fucking triaged and shit? You have to wait around cuz you're no longer special and there isn't just an ICU bed sitting around. Not to mention any surgery for months unless absolutely needed. The medical staff is going to be severely stressed.

What are the deaths you are expecting here? Food production would be considered essential as would anything else needed that is essential? Maybe not Tesla cars but that makes sense to me. People can still move around and do business privately. This is basically where I figured it'd go. Now when they put up roadblocks and shit like that, but that is fantasy. Right now cops go around and if you have a large group, they threaten or give you a ticket. Oh well. Do it in private and they'd never know.
