When the country opens back up, I'm sure you'll come up with a new topic to beat us down with and share your vast array of knowledge about.

Everything about all this is hypotheticals.
So there's that.

Actually, it's not. States or counties or cities that delayed closing things down will suffer tremendously.

Hey JPurdue or Tallgrass or anyone who has a grasp of statistics, I have a question. I understand flattening the curve so the medical facilities are not overwhelmed. But it seems to me that you have to have a significant percent of the population that has to have resistance from having it before relaxing the isolation procedures, otherwise we will just escalate again. That is assuming that warm temps do not significantly reduce the incidence. So how can we hope to be back to normal within a month?

We all want exactly the same thing. We want life back to normal as fast as possible with as little damage to the economy and human life as possible.

Guys like John come on here and ceaselessly shouts big platitudes, "People should be able to make their own decisions NOW!" Tough to argue with that in a free country, but he conveniently leaves out any of the consequences. Then when someone points out a potential issue with his line of thought he pounces with another equally senseless comment, "You virus nazi's are going to destroy the economy." Rinse and repeat.

A few days ago he was telling us all he planned to get the virus. As per usual just a lot of talk out of this guy. What you'll never get out a guy like John is an actual plan. An actual path forward. He knows if he actually put anything out there it might get pounded into the ground. That's a risk he can't take. So instead he continues to shower us with half truths and fanciful political ideologies. Ayn Rand would puke on this guy.

We'd all love it to be a black and white world, but it's grey. Some folks can't accept that.

I'm not a policy maker, but the plan I've suggested is as follows:

1. Mass testing to understand as precisely as possible the metrics driving this virus. R0, Hospitalization rate, Total cases, Mortality, Morbidity, ICU rate, etc...
2. Once we know that we can relax and enhance social distancing policies as it makes sense to drive the economy but not overwhelm the hospitals.
3. A moon shot type effort on a vaccine and therapies we know will work like antibody treatments through plasma infusion.

I believe doing these things would minimize human suffering and get us back to whatever our new normal will be as fast as possible.

Feel free to criticize it as you see fit, but don't do so without putting out your own plan.
