Correct, minus the flagwaving

President Trump said Monday that his administration would work to allow local economies to “cautiously resume” activities at the appropriate time amid the coronavirus outbreak, adding that the United States “wasn’t built to be shut down.”
“Our public health experts, who are terrific, are studying the variation and the disease across the country, and we will be using data to recommend new protocols to allow local economies to cautiously resume their activity at the appropriate time,” Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room Monday evening.

We forget, our knowledge was doubling right along with the infection rate.  We got the data, we can find patterns that solve the social distancing problem, like today, now. Some part of the economy can be safely resumed. 

But large, crowded events out out. That is still a sudden stop of recessionary level.  A home test would be great right now, develop that.  Teach us how to use an oxygen bag at home. Intelligent people will find the contagion safe paths. Make the best cocktail suppressant widely available. We can live with this without the vaccine for some time. We are likely to get an immunity booster of partial effectiveness, making immunity a 20 week affair. We have an inventory of vaccines that can disable part of this virus.
