[quote=Anonymous]Look, there is NO easy way to handle this.

We can't open up now. And we most likely can't open up next month either. PEOPLE WILL DIE.

We also can't lock everyone up for 18 months either. People will go broke, commit suicide or want to kill their domestic partners from cabin fever and isolation. PEOPLE WILL DIE.

We need a couple months more of stay at home. While we build up hospital infrastructure and ramp up production of testing supplies.

Then we'll need to make tradeoffs for different kinds of personal freedoms. Want to go out and see your friends? Fine, but you have to get a negative covid test first and if anyone shows symptoms, you have to take down names. The more we allow mobility, the more we may need to allow tracking and surveillance. Want to travel? Now you need medical testing to get a visa.

It is going to be HARD. Until there is a vaccine, there is GOING to be varying degrees of restriction, surveillance, repeated testing, and opening and closing of things periodically to make sure that the number of cases does not outpace hospital capacity.[/quote]
