I assume that economics are no longer a reality/concern for most blues these days which makes sense for a have-have not culture/banana republic. I don't care if you and others spend the next year hunkered down and protecting yourselves  from certain death/COVID19. Minnesota has set a goal of 20,000 tests per day which is about a month of testing if they intend to test everyone who lives in the state. I'm curious to see if I already had it because if I have then it was already here in early January. I had a weird cold in early January along with several other people that I know personally.

I don’t know that ‘practical’ is the right word. R0 is just low for you, and you don’t care that it is much higher for others, or that you are forcing others to roll the dice with their lives. For you it is about me me me. Others can drop dead.

Then too are the values involved. The unraveling is a time of selfishness. Solving the problem at the core of the crisis involves working together for the sake of the community. Some are just locked in the unraveling mode.
