    Three-week total lockdowns by right-populist governments (albeit, of different stripes) in the UK & India are a further sign of the breadth of the consensus, for now, on what needs to be done.

        That consensus will prove unsustainable sooner rather than later, but for now, most everyone in power anywhere has come to grips with the gravity of the problem & the need to take unusually drastic steps.

        Many of the key decisions are, in the American system, made at the state level.

        Yes. Modi has been the most proactive Nationalist leaders. Shutdown borders & total flight ban. Doing that in India for 1.3b people is not easy. More I think about it more I get convinced that US is indirectly doing what UK intended to do with their “herd immunity” model.

        Irrational panic. Slow-down rather than ‘blackout’ would be superior strategy. Japan has not shut down its economy and its coping with #COVID19. Politicians overreaching their power with these omnibus quarantine orders. Violates due process. #CoronavirusPanic #hysteria

        Three weeks puts it at just a bit past Easter. I don't think we can make this last much more than that (1-2 weeks tops). Especially not if we're still telling people it's indefinite and we have no timetable to gear back up to social distancing.

        The Dallas County Judge says his shelter-in-place order is until April 3, but he wants to keep renewing it for 3 months. That is a fantasy. It's as much a fantasy as lifting them next week. We need our political leaders to grapple with that.
