        When 30% of the population refutes common sense, an approach like this ain't gonna work.

        From two weeks ago. Someone needs to compile a detailed manual of best practices from places like HK. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/06/opinion/coronavirus-end-social-distancing.html …

        How many people can sit together in a restaurant (4 in HK), at what capacity (1/2), and so on.

        Agree with the prescription... but that hinges on massively scaled up testing, which so far the govt & med industry has not been able to provide. Reality-based planning needs a Plan B, protective measures only. What does that Plan B look like?

        Not really. ... Looking at the numbers some are asking for, it’s unattainable. @zeynep has been a breath of fresh air voice. Yes, double meaning intended. Social distancing, cleaning protocol upgrades, and common sense and we should be able to release people to live.

        Sounds sensible. In other words, by the end of the year, the US might be somewhere similar to where Sweden is now.

        Seems mostly v. sensible - though do you think confined indoor venues like restaurants can ever reopen without a vaccine or rock solid treatment?
