Not me. You have to beat this one down to nearly nothing before releasing the isolation. Even then there will have to be some sort of monitoring to send isolated hot spots back into full isolation. I know of no planning for what happens when they do reach nearly nothing. I would watch the smart thermometers for the occasional outbreak, set up a network of so many people who volunteer to take their temperature with a networked thermometer once a day, and figure out how to isolate hot spots.
But it may be that we have to wait until a vaccination can be developed, and that is at least a year out.
On the surface, I agree with you.
What happens if/when our entire way of life comes down because we are so indelibly tied to Economy?
Is there even a chance we return for Business, and a million die, but we still survive as a people?
I think a year of THIS will destroy America. But I cannot think of an alt that makes sense currently.
I do, however, believe in a "positive" thought at least, that we WILL get through this. I don't hear anyone taking that route. I also do not hear anyone realistically addressing IF WE DO NOT "open up" we could be destroyed and what good will all this have done?
