I think I’m failing to understand something basic. What exactly is the endgame with this social distancing strategy? Doesn’t flattening the curve just mean moving the spike to later when you try to ease the mitigation measures?

Lemme me put it more simply: the people most willing to crash the economy probably have secure jobs or wealth to tide this out. They have no idea what the precariat is up against after $1200 band-aid and 6 mo support (best case) run out. Probably ~60-80m workers are vulnerable.

I don't think a war economy is incompatible with test and trace. Test and trace and masks and fear driving hand washing and travel bans between red and green zones is what we need to enable a safe and powerful war economy

I agree the endgame is missing. I think it involves virus + serology testing/masks4all/gloves/meds (not vacc)/temp checks evywhere/tracing/++. You say big trace not poss - but you also say a war-scale effort needed + poss, w/ is inconsistent. Pick one.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1245955699948961792?s=19 …
