CorrectionHow can you compare hurricane evacuations to a pandemic. That is a horrible analogy. A hurricane can kill everyone....based on what we are seeing....the corona virus tends to kill those with existing conditions and the elderly.
We have to move forward....does it mean opening everything...no way. The shutdown was a radical move to save people at risk and the healthcare system's capacity. It worked, thank God!! Now we need to adapt...selectively quarantine certain demographics, reduce contact particularly in cities, and react to hot spots as they develop. We need to re-condition the population to duck and weave through this virus by changing work conditions, hours, and social norms but we can't hide forever.
It is working
it isn’t a past tense situation
