[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get news directly from Italy. The guard is out because they fear people will riot. Restrictions are tighter. They may limit store hours to once a week. [/quote]

In liberal western countries, rioting will be inevitable if you keep people locked up for too long. Unfortunate.[/quote]

I agree.  This is why South Korea could contain it.

The US, I can guarantee, will not learn its lesson.  In fact, at this point, it's too late.[/quote]
SK contained it (and it remains to be seen how they will respond to inevitable increases once business resumes) because they had widespread testing very early on. This enabled contact tracing and quarantining the sick. We don't even have the capacity to test everyone showing symptoms in the US...and we have explicitly given up on any kind of containment strategy.

I put this squarely on the Administration. They should have been ramping up testing and PPE production. In CA and NY, PPE rationing is part of the reason they aren't testing...they want to save PPE workers administering tests would need to use for hospital staff.[/quote]
