What purpose could this possibly serve if you were a moderately insane social planner? Obvious answer someone else mentioned in another context, probably using different language: scaled quarantining

Execution would be something like this--yes I'm sure there are better ways this is spitballing (Also credit to
@selentelechia who gave the core of this as an offhand remark in the car) 1. Split regions aggressively and limit travel between1 reply 0 retweets 18 likesShow this thread -
2. Test aggressively and perhaps randomly in each region on a regular basis to establish prevalence of the disease 3. When some (good) threshold hit, reduce level of mandatory quarantining 4. Open borders between states attaining low prevalence thresholds

Idea would be to segment off regions with raging epidemics while minimizing economic impact elsewhere conditional on not bringing back high levels of transmission I suspect this is sort of happening at the country level already, de facto

The economic damage the status quo is inflicting is not sustainable and I am hoping the main aim would be to buy time until material means that reduce transmission are being produced at levels that make general returns to work less costly in terms of health

Theyre ramping up testing but most are still coming back negative A few vaping deaths true but hospitals are only now getting fucked Genomics I'd have to look at but I think it's more complicated than they describe, esp for a novel virus vs a one-off spread of something endemic
