This has to end. The experts have no plan except “let’s wait and see”. And for some reason it’s completely taboo to even suggest alternative strategies.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1245690679399002118 …

The plan as outlined for Minnesota is to implement safe-at-home for 2-4 weeks while ICUs can be built (state had 350 for anticipated 74,000 cases). These ICUs are being built across the state in hotels and stadiums. After prep, those not at risk can return to normal behavior.

That sounds reasonable minus the weeks of uncertainty.

Not sure what you mean. The uncertainty exists because of the virus, not this specific reaction to it. If we did nothing and continued as usual we would have no way of anticipating who would cloister themselves, how supply lines would breakdown, how hospitals would cope, etc...

I would argue we are already in that situation and the economic numbers show. I have to follow this stuff closely so we can forecast our company’s future moves and it is very impractical. Our biggest concerns are not with the virus but with what damage the governments will do.
