Exactly. With mass testing options, we would be one solid plan away from getting back to some semblance of normal life. A combo of taking temp and testing those with fever, and the quarantining the sick, we could be confident in being in public again. I know this is critical but how long will we need to isolate if we don’t get medical intervention? Can our economy survive this kind of shut down for more than a few weeks?

Edit to say I’m all for flattening the curve, and I’m not a denier. But there are trade offs going on here. We aren’t rich enough to ride this out for several months without permanent systemic damage. I think tough questions are warranted
